This week on Socialism Saturday, we unpacked a key ideological pillar of far-left thinking: family abolition. And no—this isn’t a fringe conspiracy or someone’s edgy Tumblr blog from 2013. It’s a real, structured theory backed by academia, queer Marxist scholarship, and activist organizations.
More importantly, this isn’t me speculating. This is me explaining what the left actually believes, in their own words, from a strictly anti-communist lens. You don’t have to agree with them (I don’t)—but if you want to understand the worldview driving gender ideology, collectivist policy, and educational reform, this is where the thread begins: they believe the nuclear family is capitalism’s reproductive engine, and they want it gone.
Let’s walk through exactly what they’re saying—step by step—with time stamps you can explore on the video if you would like the full context.
🧠 [0:35:05]
They don’t hate mothers—they hate what motherhood produces: more capitalists
This is where it begins. The left doesn’t oppose women having babies. They oppose what happens when those babies are raised in traditional families. Why? Because in their view, that’s how capitalism replicates itself.
“The reason that women's liberation in their mind is core at the fight of socialism is that women give birth to more capitalists... if you are having a baby in the nuclear family they consider the nuclear family to be a capitalist institution.”
In this framework, motherhood is not just biological—it's political. When you give birth within a private family unit, you're reinforcing capitalism by creating more workers, more property owners, and more believers in individual responsibility. It's not about ending childbirth. It's about ending capitalist reproduction.
🧬 [0:37:20]
The theoretical core: Social Reproduction Theory
This is the framework you need to understand everything else. “Social reproduction theory” argues that capitalism doesn’t survive because it’s productive or efficient—it survives because it reproduces itself culturally and biologically, generation after generation, usually through the family.
“The idea of social reproduction theory is that social systems will reproduce themselves until they are disrupted in some way. The nuclear family exists as an extension of capitalism... as long as it exists will continue to reproduce capitalism and they can't overthrow capitalism until they overthrow the nuclear family.”
In short: if families keep producing kids who grow up into little capitalists, the revolution never comes. So the family must go.
🔧 [0:41:40]
They’ve expanded “means of production” to include… you
Traditionally, Marxist theory is about controlling factories, land, capital. But modern leftists have reinterpreted that. Now, they argue that the people themselves—specifically how they’re raised, socialized, and gendered—are part of the “means of production.”
“When the left says control the means of production, they don't just mean the factories. The factories is the economic model, they also mean the people, the cultural model. To the left, capitalism is both economic, the stuff you buy in the store, and the people controlling the culture.”
It’s not just about who owns the machines anymore—it’s about who shapes the children. The family is framed as a privatized factory for making compliant capitalist subjects, and that's what they want to nationalize, so to speak.
🧱 [0:44:20]
Capitalism depends on two factories: the workplace and the home
Here’s the meat of their argument: capitalism doesn’t just survive through jobs and wage labor. It survives through the unpaid labor that happens inside the home, especially by women.
“Capitalism relies on both the economic production of commodities and the cultural production of labor... They believe men in the workplace in the patriarchy produce the economic model of capitalism, they believe women in the home doing the unpaid labor of giving birth to the next generation of proletarian workers produce the cultural model of capitalism.”
Women, in this theory, aren’t just caretakers—they’re involuntary agents of capitalist continuity. And the nuclear family, by assigning them that role, becomes the core site of capitalist reproduction. This is why the family is treated as a legitimate political target—not because they hate “love,” but because they believe love has been drafted into capitalism’s war effort.
🏛️ [0:49:52]
The family, like gender, is a capitalist invention (according to them)
If you’ve heard the claim that “gender is a social construct,” this takes that one step further. The same logic is applied to the family. They argue that it’s not natural, not universal, and not neutral—it’s a capitalist institution created to serve capitalist ends.
“Just as gender roles are socially constructed, they're socially constructed by capitalism... the family is a social institution not a biological necessity or an eternal form.”
If it’s constructed, then it can be dismantled. That’s the point. Framing the family as artificial is how they justify their push to replace it.
💰 [0:52:40]
Privatized childrearing = capitalist theft
This is where it gets explicitly Marxist. If labor belongs to the collective, and children are future laborers, then raising children in private homes is considered an unjust privatization of reproductive labor.
“The nuclear family they believe is the privatization of the labor necessary to produce the workers under capitalism because the nuclear family is the privatized model that allows for wealth to be maintained privately rather than available to the collective.”
In plain terms: if you’re raising your kids in your home, you’re hoarding resources. You’re creating inequality. And from their perspective, that’s a problem that needs correcting—preferably through state-managed or collectivized child-rearing.
🧪 [0:59:00]
The endgame: artificial wombs and degendered reproduction
This is not a metaphor. They are literally proposing that we remove reproduction from the female body and transfer it to artificial systems—so it can be managed apart from gender, family, or biology.
“They're talking about degendering reproduction... they're talking about liberating women from the responsibility of giving birth by decoupling reproduction from gender by manufacturing children in biobags and growing them outside of the womb.”
It sounds dystopian because it is. But it’s also being published in elite institutions. Which brings us to...
🎓 [1:01:48]
No, really—it’s from Harvard
“This is a paper that was published via the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in the student journal of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government... this is not just one crazy person. This is queer Marxism, this is queer anarco-communism.”
This is the pipeline: radical theory written in academic journals, legitimized by elite institutions, then implemented downstream through culture, education, and activism.
🚻 [1:05:20]
It’s not about adding genders—it’s about abolishing them
This is key. The push for “nonbinary” identity isn’t about creating space—it’s about removing categories altogether.
“The goal is to abolish all gender. Non-binary means no binary. They don't want the combination of men and women because that still necessitates gender. They want nonbinary, no binary, no men, no women.”
Their aim is to dismantle the very structure of identity. Because in their view, gender roles exist to serve capitalism—and if capitalism is to be dismantled, so too must gender itself.
🍽️ [1:55:00]
No private kitchens, no private meals
This one sounds small, but it’s deeply symbolic. The private kitchen represents family autonomy and self-sufficiency—so naturally, they want to collectivize it too.
“The private kitchen... this is an argument that both ME and Sophie Lewis make... you will no longer need a private kitchen in your house because you will get all of your food from the canteen in the community.”
The left’s vision of freedom doesn’t include cooking dinner in peace. It’s all cafeteria, no comfort.
🤝 [1:58:40]
Comrades, not couples
“Listen to ME saying this: 'All the workers, men and women, will above all be comrades. This is what relations between men and women in the communist society will be like.'”
They want to replace the emotional complexity of relationships with the ideological simplicity of collectivist unity. Romance becomes suspect. Comradeship becomes the new love language.
💔 [1:59:05]
Love can’t exist under capitalism, apparently
“According to ME, you can only have true love when we abolish capitalism because true love cannot exist under capitalism because in capitalism you have a fundamental inequality of the partners.”
In their worldview, private property poisons intimacy. The solution? Abolish property, gender, and hierarchy—and maybe then we’ll earn the right to love again.
🏫 [1:30:00]
They’re pushing this through education—and most people missed it
“How are they abolishing the nuclear family? They're abolishing gender. How are they abolishing gender? They're teaching queer theory in schools. Why are they getting away with it? Because conservatives focused on sexualization and grooming rather than what they were actually doing.”
While many on the right fixated on sensationalism, the far-left quietly rewrote the educational framework. It’s not about drag queens. It’s about restructuring identity and human development through curriculum.
🏴☠️ [2:42:00]
They believe property blocks human connection
“ME just explained that Marx believed that capitalism forced people to relate to each other through value exchange and property exchange, but when we get rid of all property... we will truly be able to see each other as human beings because we won't have this property thing standing between us.”
Property is viewed as the original sin of modern relationships. Eliminate it, they argue, and we can finally be “real” with each other. Whatever that means.
🌍 [2:45:30]
The family is where all oppression intersects
“ME says we have to think about the family both as an object of white supremacy and of capitalism and of psychoanalysis... because the family is where the psychic production of the individual and the immediate social relations of our upbringing and the global organization of racial capitalism all come and meet and they're all the same thing.”
This is peak intersectional theory. The family, to them, is the center of all oppression: economic, racial, gendered, and psychological. Tear it down, and the rest will fall.
📚 [3:05:20]
How do you fight back? Learn. Then don’t shut up.
“In order to fight this, you need to learn as much as you can about it. You need to do exactly what you're doing now, which is watching Socialism Saturday... the number one thing you can do to fight this is to listen and to learn.”
This is why Socialism Saturday exists. If you don’t understand what you’re up against, you’re not going to win. Full stop.
📌 [3:56:10]
Yes, the left is consistent. That’s why they’re winning
“These are two different far-left organizations saying exactly the same thing, and that's what I want people to get out of this. People think the left is not consistent. The left is incredibly consistent. They are consistent across organizations.”
They know what they believe. They know how to repeat it. And they’re saying the same thing in every institution they touch.

The harder the social media platforms push socialism and bury content praising capitalism, the more terrified the rulers obviously are of everyone realizing that THEY are the ultimate socialists. It's happening. No number of brainwashed sorority girls and frat boys with artificially inflated YouTube channels is going to change that.
