Ahh, this is Harriet Fraad’s thing, but Wilhelm Reich also used Marxism in The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Basically, in the modern nuclear family, there is a contradiction between the parents and children. Parents may want one thing, children may want another. A parent might not want his kids to learn about Marxism because they might team up against him or realize how society itself enforces the enslavement of marriage for instance. I also felt like this sometimes as a teacher. I was intensely aware of how being alone in a room with dozens of students put me at a great disadvantage. If they had only gotten over their own petty internal disputes, they could have been running the classroom, the school, and who knows what else.
Sorry, meant to quote this:
