The left does not want to abolish the family, so much as to replace it with a more primitive form of the family similar to the matriarchal societies of pre-civilisational existence—only this time the state will serve as the matriarch.

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.
