Briefly: Growing calls to abolish traditional family are serious threat from left

Hatred for the traditional family has been the subtext of progressive left ideology for decades. Although there has been a serious overreaction from social conservatives — many of whom believe a family can only look like what they have — there’s been serious disdain from social left theorists and from left-wing political regimes. Remember that The Communist Manifesto called for the “abolition of the family.” Now there’s a wing of feminism which is openly advocating the abolition of blood-related families. Feminist theorist Sophie Lewis is getting respectful hearings in the left-wing media for her new book called “Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family.” She’s not alone. Less than two years ago, a social psychology professor from City University of New York made waves when she said that white people who are creating white children are somehow supporting “white supremacy.” She wrote, “Part of what I’ve learned is that the white-nuclear family is one of the most powerful forces supporting white supremacy.” Ideas matter. These people are a tiny minority today, but much of the insane things you see being forced on society today started as tiny pockets of lunacy in academia. We can’t let these crazies win. We need healthy families more than ever.
