The Left’s War on the Family: Why They Want to Abolish the Nuclear Family

The left isn’t just rethinking family—they’re gunning for the abolition of the nuclear family altogether. It’s not about hating their parents or aborting their kids; it’s about seeing the nuclear family as a key barrier to their ultimate goal: dismantling capitalism.

Here’s their logic:

• Capitalism birthed the gender binary. We unpacked this in RE-EDUCATION #9.

• The gender binary traps women in a socially constructed role that demands their unpaid labor in birthing and raising the nuclear family.

• The children raised in these households are the next generation of workers who will be oppressed under capitalism. The family is literally cranking out the very workers that prop up the system.

• That makes the nuclear family the breeding ground for capitalism (private property ownership).

Enter Social Reproduction Theory: The left believes social systems reproduce themselves until someone disrupts them. So, the nuclear family isn’t just a product of capitalism; it’s also the institution that maintains it.

If the left sees the nuclear family as perpetuating capitalism with every new generation, they’ll argue it must be dismantled to overthrow our capitalist society and create their Marxist utopia.

But there’s more:

• The nuclear family fosters economic dependencies, especially when medical care is tied to family resources.

• It facilitates generational wealth, reinforcing class disparities.

• It upholds the gender binary, aka patriarchy.

For the far-left, this isn’t just a critique—it’s a strategy. They want to eliminate capitalism (private property ownership), and the nuclear family stands in their way.
