Like my base assumption is that she's wrong. If you think the PMC is an actual class then you're also only one step away from 🤡

Hurt people hurt people. These parents were, very likely, the victims of abuse and neglect during their childhoods. As their parents were in turn. That's before you get into the impact of shit like lead poisoning on the human brain. The whole 80s-era drug/crime wave can be traced back to lead gas and lead paint. The damage done to people's brains caused all sorts of mental illnesses.
Even setting aside all of that, lets say your parents had no excuse. Lets say they're straight up Jeffery Epstein grade sociopaths who deserve every ounce of hate you can fling their way. It's still just, like, not good for your own psyche to dwell on these people. Trauma isn't something you should seek to cultivate in yourself. It's poison. It's debilitating and agony-inducing. Escaping that agony is far better for you, if you can manage it. And if you can't, that's what good comrades are supposed to help you out with.
The goal of Leftism isn't to exact revenge on the old world. It's to purge the poison from the system so that the next generation has it better than we did.

You make some good points but there is something in me that doesn't think people that hurt children should be forgiven, at least not without being made to atone. I don't know if I'm bitter or vengeful or what. Maybe.
Not forgotten, certainly. Not necessarily even liking them. But part of the materialist view of history is recognizing our decisions are - at least in part - a consequence of our conditions.
You're a product of your condition, too. And having feelings isn't a sin.
