Woman, the left does not defend you. It uses you, your empathy, fears, anxieties and particularities. The left wants to erase you, and this is the same in every historical and geographical space.
In Russia, before the communist revolution of 1917, children’s education was the responsibility of their families, and their mothers decided whether they would be educated at school or at home. After the revolution, it was no longer a family matter, but a state matter, which wanted to shape young people into thinking and acting as expected. If they refused, their children would be taken away from their families.
In Portugal, it was also during the republic, influenced by strong Jacobin and socialist ideals, that women were denied the right to vote, since they considered women to be “simple souls”, subject to the influence of the Church, clergy and conservative policies. Ironically, it was only during the right-wing dictatorial regime, the “Estado Novo”, that Portugal gave women the right to vote and, for the first time, women were elected to the “National Assembly”.
The left does not believe in capitalism, which means it does not believe that you, a woman, can succeed on your own merit. It wants you to be held hostage by someone else: by the State.
The left does not believe in individualism, it assumes that you are a faceless number, or it collectivizes you: it puts you in a category and tells you that men are your enemies. The left does not believe in humanism, in voluntarism, in unity. It uses your pain to segregate.
The left creates artificial barriers to building properties and renting, preventing you from being able to pay for your house, but then offers you handouts that it took from your taxes, to tell you that it defends you.
The left doesn’t think that being a woman is something special. If they did, they wouldn’t be calling you a “person with a uterus.” Likewise, the left doesn’t argue that motherhood is special, or they wouldn’t be fighting for you to be just a “lactating person.”
In any time and geographic space, your freedom will always be inconvenient for Marxists. In Portugal, it is the left that defends that your minor children can change sex and sues you if you do not agree.
In Brazil, they are also the ones who take your place, using coercive measures, to force you to submit your children to procedures on their bodies even if you do not want to.
In any temporal and geographical space, the left does not want you to think for yourself, it restricts your freedom, your space, the functions that you proposed to fulfill, but it will always make you believe that it is for your own good.
