Excellent article. I feel this is part of a push where humans are considered as nothing but an expandable resource in what I like to call as ‘privatised communism’.

Capitalism as defined implies the respect of freedom, and by extension humans. Communism and socialism, with their tendency to focus on controlling the means in order to control the outcomes, doesn’t care about freedom. Therefore, anything that goes against their objective of control is a threat. Family is one of the institutions that threatens this type of control. And what best way to destroy families by promoting certain values and attack what families stand for by deeming them as an archaic construct.

The reason I refer to ‘private communism’ is that instead of being controlled by the state, we are controlled by concentration of private capital and where governments (supposed to be people’s representatives) are working for private capital. Anything that does not benefit private capital must be fought, and humans for private capital are nothing but a resource that must be squeezed in their never ending pursuit of profit. So it goes without saying that women’s ability to bear and nurture life is of interest to them, but also a threat. Hence why they seek to control it.
