So I figured out why the lefties want to trans your kids

There is an article published in City Journal that discusses the philosophy of Wilhelm Reich. In summary, Reich had a deeply indecent sexuality. He was into incest and kids.

In this he is quite similar to Jean Jacques Rousseau, who was into sado-masochism, and Michael Foucault, who likely raped an Algerian boy and was profligate in his promiscuity even after he knew that he had HIV-AIDs.

Here is what all these philosophers had in common. As a reaction to their inclinations toward sexual evil, they decided that their sexual proclivities weren’t bad. It was sexual repression that was the real enemy.

As the article put it:

Reich counseled his patients to see their innate inhibitions as an “armor” and a “plague” in need of tradition. “Mankind is biologically sick,” he wrote.” Man’s bioptic character structure is, as it were, the fossilization of the authorities process of history. It is the biophysical reproduction of mass suppression.” He argued that it was perfectly appropriate for children to witness their parents’ own sexual congress.

In essence, children suffer from their parents' bourgeois norms with regard to sexuality. If children are freed to explore their sexuality, the difficulties that come with sexuality will evaporate, as if by magic. This is pure Rousseau, the source of drag story time in libraries.

Constantly throughout the radical left is a strain of destructive nihilism. Once we get rid of capitalism, people won’t be greedy. Once we get rid of all our history and tear down all our statues, racism will go away. It’s the noble savage myth all the way down.

It will be no surprise to anyone who is familiar with sexual predators or Communist theory that Reich wanted to break up the family unit and replace it with government indoctrination.

“The prevention of neuroses,” he maintained elsewhere, “begins by excluding from the education of the child his or her own parents who have proven themselves to be the most unqualified educators. The sexual education of the small child will be put instead into the hands of specially trained personnel who will be less biased.”

Then, after advocating for a totalitarian revolution that gives government officials greater power, he accuses the other side of fascism. Forgive my repetition, but all of this seems extremely current for a guy who was born in 1897.

Reich believed that the continuation of the family paved the way to fascistic government. “At first the child has to submit to the structure of the authoritarian miniature state, the family; this makes it capable of later subordination of the general authoritarian system. The formation of the authoritarian structure takes place through the anchoring of sexual inhibition and sexual anxiety.” Philip Rieff’s 1966 book, The Triumph of the Therapeutic, which includes a sharp critique of Reich’s Freudo-Marxism, notes: “Sex education becomes the main weapon in an ideological war against the family; its aim is to divest the parents of their moral authority.”

In modern times, this leads us to schools handing out books with gay pornographic prose and telling them not to talk to their parents about it.

When this started happening in schools a year or two ago, I remember a classically liberal Scottish guy saying something like, “Why didn’t they stop at gay marriage? If a gay couple wants to go down the street holding hands, I don’t want them to be beaten up. That was horrible to gays and I oppose it. But now people are dressing in fetish gear to go to a library to twerk in parades that are advertised as 'family-friendly.' That’s not what I and many other advocates of gay rights signed up for.”

Forgive me for not being able to find the YouTube video. I didn’t come up with this idea myself and I want to communicate that many other people have noticed the change from classically liberal tolerance of different folks just living their lives, to forcibly acceptance of anti-family government dominant ideologies.

For a long time, I have been a bit confused about how we got to Wokism’s emphasis on minorities (sexual and otherwise) while it still retained the anti-capitalist tendencies of the earlier Marxists. This article also explains Queers for Palestine and why lefty wine moms actually want to take their kids to drag queen story hour. City Journal’s article provided a light in the dark gaps of my knowledge base. I recommend that you check it out.
