There’s a war on the family – and we’re losing it

by Frank Wright, TCW:

If you would like to experiment with this concept, try opening a conversation about a ‘normal family’. It will land like a brick in a pond. The reality is that there is a war on the family, and that its enemies are winning.

What kind of person declares war on the family? People such as Wilhelm Reich described the family as ‘authoritarian’ in his Mass Psychology of Fascism. He saw a strong link between the order of the traditional family and that of society, which he designated as a deep social evil. He believed, like his mentor Freud, that people were motivated chiefly by carnal frustration and satisfaction. To both men the family is an impediment to the total self-indulgence demanded by their philosophy, and the root of personal and societal illness.

Later, Theodor Adorno of the Frankfurt School would develop the idea of the toxicity of the family. In his book The Authoritarian Personality, he refines Reich’s ideas to a kind of manifesto. He lists many aspects of the wickedness of the traditional Christian family. He says that the family forms the religious and ideological view of the children. This is bad, as it is not Marxism.

By page 155 Adorno has hit the bullseye. He identifies the family man as the object of conservative political messaging, embodying family values which precipitate political campaigning on ‘qualities of personal character and moral standing’.
