So, is a husband a bourgeoisie?
Different material relations
No they're not
So, why Engels said that?
He didn't
I quoted him.
In what message exactly?
You can see that above. Just scroll up
You have two quotes from Marx, out of context, and that's all
<OUT OF CONTEXT> Ok
`In the great majority of cases today, at least in the possessing classes, the husband is obliged to earn a living and support his family, and that in itself gives him a position of supremacy, without any need for special legal titles and privileges. Within the family he is the bourgeois and the wife represents the proletariat. In the industrial world, the specific character of the economic oppression burdening the proletariat is visible in all its sharpness only when all special legal privileges of the capitalist class have been abolished and complete legal equality of both classes established. The democratic republic does not do away with the opposition of the two classes; on the contrary, it provides the clear field on which the fight can be fought out.`
he quoted a piece of this
which engels wrote to relativize the situation of supremacy of bourgeois over proletariat
that forms the basic economic unit
in an attempt to draw a conclusion of liberation would include the female sex equally entering the public industry
and hes trying to claim some kind of contradiction
between the relative comparison of the hegelian master-slave dialectic
and actual social relations of production wherein class spawns from
Wow, I love how you have to do so much gymnastics to cover for a direct quote
Must be tough
you dont know how to read
Yes, context makes the statement read different.
Yeah the idea he means they're the *literal* bourgeoisie is so stupid you must be purposefully doing it to have some weird take on "cultural Marxism" or something to that effect
_"and that in itself gives him a position of supremacy"_
iS THAT LITERAL?
Literally read what I said
I'm guessing this is the "Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State"
Yeah
How do we know what is literal?
Oh yeah men do have supremacy over women
That's doesn't make every husband the bourgeoisie
So, that is literal, but the next sentence isn't?
Wow
Because he literally says in a couple sentences later that the point of the comparison is that the liberation of the proletariat would inversely.mean in comparison the female sex introduced to public industry
He makes a comparison, are you really that dense not to notice?
Context or no, it's clearly a comparison
It's showing how it is also a class dynamic in some sense
Is saying men have supremacy also a comparison?
Maybe, that is a metaphor as well
Are you more concerned with winning an argument than learning?
