I don’t think that the state can take the maternal role (at least until they invent Huxleyan ‘hatcheries’); rather, it is gradually usurping the role of the providing father.

1. The state, especially the leftist state, is maternal. This is a point Jordan Peterson gets right. I was reading Eduard Lemonov the other day, and he describes a political fantasy where the family is broken & people are enrolled in state nurseries form an early age.

2. This was basically the Soviet model, and it accords with feminism: scoop the child into the arms of the state as soon as possible. Nurseries are brutal, violent, and abusive places. I know of children that come back covered in bites from other kids.

3. Matriarchy is actually a highly abusive, violent, and sexualised system (think about the failures of single mothers). The patriarchal state leaves people alone to get on with it. The matriarchal state tries ot nourish everyone (actually smothering everyone).

4. Limonov’s ambivalence towards his own family, his own mother, sees him replace the family with the state as a perfect, clean, and satisfying mother. This position is basically a lack of maturity, and is common to all leftists.

Anecdote: I once had a girlfriend who worked later than me. As a practical (seemingly rational) move, since she would be back 2hrs later than me, I cooked (even tho previous gfs cooked for me & I don’t like cooking). This didn’t end the relationship, but it contributed.
