Jesus Christ, you're stupid. And a coward to boot.
Christopher Lasch wrote an excellent essay in 1986 that focused on the decline of the left and the family that is still relevant today. It reminds me a lot of you and your immature radicalism. I highly recommend you read the entire essay.
Why the Left Has No Future
Unable to explain the persistence of religion, pro-family attitudes, and an ethic of personal accountability except as an expression of false consciousness-as the product of brainwashing or of an irrational attachment to “simple and easy answers” after “two decades of social upheaval-the Left finds itself without a following. Since it refuses to take popular attitudes seriously-to “pander” to “the existing popular consciousness,” in Lillian Rubin’s curious and revealing phrase-it can hope to reform society only in the face of popular opposition or indifference.
...the American Left has had to choose, in effect, between two equally futile and self-defeating strategies: either to wait helplessly for the revolution, while fulminating against “capitalism,”
or to try to gain its objectives by outflanking public opinion, giving up the hope of creating a popular constituency for social reform, and relying instead on the courts, the mass media, and the administrative bureaucracy. As militant outsiders or bureaucratic insiders, radicals have succeeded only in laying the basis of a conservative movement that has managed to present itself, infuriatingly, as a form of cultural populism, even though its own program, espe-cially its economic program, seeks only to perpetuate the existing distribution of wealth and power-indeed, to reverse most of the democratic gains actually achieved over the last five decades.
...it would be foolish to blame feminism for the collapse of the family. But it is equally foolish to pretend that feminism is compatible with the family. Feminism is itself an outgrowth of liberalism, among other things, and it shares liberalism’s belief in individual rights, contractual relations, and the primacy of justice, all of which make it impossible to understand the nature or the value of spontaneous cooperation.
People still cherish the stability of long-term marital and intergenerational commitments, in other words, but find little support for them in a capitalist economy or in the prevailing ideology of individual rights.
Liberal societies tend to undermine family life, even though most of them profess a sentimental attachment to “family values.” This tendency has been present from the very beginning of the liberal capitalist order, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
