"I believe that today we live in a society where the traditional family has been superseded by reality," says Ángela Rodríguez
The family has lost its primary role in the education of its children, now assuming a subsidiary role. The State now occupies the primary role.
DUnfortunately, that's the way it is. But the attack against the traditional familyThe same old one. The one that has existed since Classical Greece with some nuances, it was shaped throughout history, the words of Angela Rodriguez and the Family Law agreed between Unidas Podemos and the PSOE, a step forward that comes to seal the deal assisted suicide in the traditional familyI say assisted suicide because it is the traditional families themselves that have ended up accepting the homologation of their family status with any human group that in no way resembles their unique situation. It is the traditional family itself that passively allows its own death.
The family has always existed, fundamentally composed of a man, a woman, and their children: It's the nuclear familyAlso, the family formed by a separated/divorced couple whose children remained under the care and custody of one of the parental figures: These are the separated/divorced familiesThe one formed by single mothers: It is a single-parent familyWhen several generations—parents, children, and grandparents—live together in the same home (though not necessarily): It is extended familyExtending the definition of family to same-sex couples who live together, or not, with children, is a result of the implementation of gender ideology. Extending the concept of family to people simply because they share a home is the final blow, the definitive step in the destruction of the family.
Politics: the triumph of Marxism
The most serious work focused on the destruction of the family is constituted by "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State" by Friedrich Engels. Based on the LH Morgan's theories, develops the thesis that the family is nothing more than a structure made up of slaves and generated throughout history to maintain private property and the classist nature of the State: “…the general characteristics of class society, revealing in turn the particularities of the evolution of the family in the different socio-economic formations (…) the origin and class nature of the State”Therefore, Marxism posits the need to destroy the family as a prerequisite for building communist society, since it constitutes a fundamental structure for maintaining economic injustice through the bourgeois state. In fact, during the first years after Lenin's triumph, plans were made against the family, as it was deemed meaningless given the functions it assumed in the new communist state. Angela Rodriguez's words They are not new, they follow in the footsteps of Marxist feminism of Alexandra Kollontai, People's Commissioner for Social Welfare of Lenin's government, when he stated that
The family is now an obsolete structure, once the State has assumed the tasks of raising children, and he explained that, “Once domestic work was transferred to the domain of wage labor, nothing would remain of the family except a 'psychological bond'”.
In short, from a political point of view, we find the application of Marxist theories on the family, although achieved through a strategy of harassment and demolition planned from cultural Marxism and whose success has come.
Psychosociology: The Triumph of Social Antipsychiatry
David Cooper He is one of the co-founders of the anti-psychiatry movement, which reached its peak during the 70s and gradually declined during the 80s. His most paradigmatic work on the family was "The Death of the Family"Written in 1971 and translated into Spanish in 1986, it considers the family a toxic structure, a source of madness, repressive, and at the service of capitalist interests. Its theory is based on classical Marxism. philosophy of Sartre and M. Foucault.
If we carefully read the draft presented by United We can on Mental Health ActWe will clearly observe that its wording is in close accordance with the theses held by the antipsychiatric movementThe curious thing is that these anti-psychiatry policies already had their precedents with González Duro in Jaén, with Ramon Garcia as a Spanish theorist of the same and as a national experience in Italy with Franco Basaglia: They all ended in utter failure, with the mentally ill paying a high personal price. It was a moral disaster.
The question we must ask ourselves as citizens is whether we should allow it, considering the cost it entailed in terms of the human quality and dignity of the mentally ill who, in the name of freedom, autonomy and free choice, were abandoned to their fate, dying of hunger and cold in the streets or taken in by charitable institutions.
Angela Rodriguez's Children and Non-Family
Ángela Rodríguez tells us, contradictorily, that the NATURAL family It has been superseded. By whom has the "natural family" been superseded? By a decadent artifice, by a boundless fragmentation in the styles of cohabitation that we insist on calling family and that have ended up destroying it? That's right. Its ideologized vision of the family has led to its destruction, which, while for adults it may mean a new sense of freedom and a lack of commitment, will have negative consequences for children, still unforeseen, in terms of their cognitive, social, and emotional development. From this destruction stem:
- The education of children will be in the hands of the State through nurseries and schools.
- Children will lack the stability of stable, personalized adult figures who, through attachment, foster their emotional, social, and behavioral development. Attachment, so necessary for children's security, will shift from primary attachment what is called in psychology multiple attachments, generators of insecurity in their psycho-affective development.
- Values will be taught according to policy, creating adults who are docile to the system and lack critical thinking skills.
Therefore, what is presented to us as a reality imposed from the outside was already designed by the cultural policies that have been subtly penetrating society, without us being aware that they are leading us to a society where everything is uncertain, an uncontrolled experiment whose adverse effects we do not know…
