All of Marx’s work reduces to:
In a ___ society, the ___ are necessarily the oppressors while the ___ are necessarily the oppressed.
Class Marxism:
In a capitalist society, the owners of property are necessarily the oppressors while the non-owners are necessarily the oppressed.
Sex Marxism:
In a patriarchal society, the men are necessarily the oppressors while the women are necessarily the oppressed.
Race Marxism:
In a white society, whites are necessarily the oppressors while blacks are necessarily the oppressed.
Heteronormative Marxism
In a heterosexual society, the heterosexuals are necessarily the oppressors while the non-heterosexuals are necessarily the oppressed.
Even some groups on the “conservative” side of politics use this same basic statement when arguing that
Jews are in positions of power.
Non-jews are in positions of exploitation.
Thus, the Jews are oppressing non-Jews.
In essence, Marxism is an old and refurbished idea. It is a formalized and convoluted notion of generalization. It relies on…
the generalization of society without proving the actuality of the generalization in the instances
assumption of oppression based on generalizations without identifying the nature of that oppression, even in the generalization
Were villainy carefully identified, these generalizations would no longer be necessary. But then, with that kind of thinking one would not be a Marxist.
