Ever wondered how your marital status or romantic relationship is shaped by society's norms and expectations? How about the notion of family abolition, a concept that offers a radical look at the institution of family as we know it? This episode draws you into a stimulating conversation with our guest, Daniel Tutt.
Delving into the complexities of family formation and class dynamics, we challenge conventional understandings of family, marriage, and relationships. We traverse the intriguing paradox of the bourgeois family and its unattainable promises for the proletariat. The discussion intensifies as we explore the lumpenization of significant portions of the working class and how this might reshape our understanding of the family. We also scrutinize the societal pressures of self-actualization, the risks of pursuing education, and the historical context of abolishing family.
We wrap up by examining the current family culture's impact on young generations and the intersection between family abolitionists and the left. Our dialogue seeks to redefine family and to seize the politicization of the generation to prevent reaction and even proto-fascism. Join us as we dissect, debate, and rethink the institution of family against the backdrop of societal changes, class struggles, and evolving definitions of love and relationships.
