    patriarchy is instantiated most directly through the family; lots of feminists have talked about how the family is exploitive. I'd point you to Firestone, if you need the case made at greater length. parents aren't a benevolent dictatorship. there is no benevolent dictatorshiphttps://twitter.com/EvelKneidel/status/1338596647526428677 …

    Not really. Oppressor classes are so because they are exploitive, not because they have power. The wealthy are rich because they exploit the poor. White people are white because Black people are socially and economically subjugated. https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1338586940157927427 …

        it really sucks to see supposedly radical people pushing back on this. like, Marx and Engels were pretty mistrustful of the nuclear family, and feminist Marxists extended their insights.

        people with rose emojis on their profiles shouldn't just be encountering the idea that parents are oppressive at eht end of 2020.

        This person has clearly never seen a utility bill in the child's name when the child is like 6 if they don't think these relationships can't be exploitative. I have. We can have a conversation about the forces that shove people into that terrible situation but that shit happens.

        Like, I've seen kids who's parents wrecked their credit scores before the kid even knew what one was.

        Replying to @nberlat

        I'll backread for some context, but I'm sort of puzzled by the jump from patriarchy to all parents. Parents can exploit their children. Parents can abuse their children. Parents can do both, but I think OP has it right & I don't see parenthood as an oppressor class?

        parents have huge amounts of power and almost no accountability. the justification of disempowerment and injustice in the family is the moral justification for disempowerment and injustice elsewhere in society.

        may I just cheer at the meniton of the great Shulamith Firestone, whose family put her in a mental hospital?

        How are you gonna say “there are no benevolent dictators” and then also “bosses don’t inherently exert unreasonable control”? https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1338608682381287432 …

        The point isn't the abuse of power and exploitation of people with less power, the point is that it shouldn't even be physically possible. Some bosses aren't jerks. That doesn't matter. There shouldn't be bosses.
