The Marxist idea of historical materialism, which states that history advances through classes struggle with opposing interests, has colonized the minds of the entire West and has ossified in the laws and institutions of civil society.
Something similar occurs with the theory of exploitation that separates people between oppressors and oppressed classes. Since an oppressor cannot be equal to an oppressed person, as the former must necessarily possess an advantage over the latter, it is not possible to treat them equally. Thus the system must discard the concept of equality before the law and implement compensatory mechanisms to equalize them.
Labor legislation, trade union regulations, and social organizations emerged as products of this supposed class struggle and power imbalance. Other State institutions such as the "the people's defender" (ombudsman) suggest that there exist "aggressors of the people" who do not belong as such to the people. The "consumer protection agency" suggests the existence of "consumer antagonists" (lobbying groups, regulatory capture agencies and groups that push for govermental favours) and so on.
These ideas, once defeated, do not disappear but rather settle like sediments, accumulating year after year, creating a kind of eternal damage. Let us consider, for instance, the abuse of minors whose own parents attempt to twist their sexuality, the "gender identity" laws, and the patent hatred of men that reigns in family courts of so many countries. How long do you think it will take to make them disappear? Nothing changes when nothing is done.
It is necessary not only to defeat perverse ideas but once victory is achieved, one must clean the battlefield to reverse the damage.
