  19.  @edenbreckhouse  Marx was certainly not the creator of conflict theory. That would go to either his educator, George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, or it would go to Thomas Hobbes. Perhaps even it could go to Niccolo Machiavelli. Either way, various forms of theories surrounding power dynamics have existed for centuries. The Art of War by Sun Zu gives lip service to power dynamics throughout. Marx's conflict theory explained power dynamics from the perspective of ownership over the current mode of production. Who worked to sustain themselves and who sustained themselves via those who worked for them. Class conflict itself is Marx explaining how the ownership of the factors of production and the means of production (aka the resources and the property required to produce goods) gives an exclusive power over society as everyone else must either work or pay those owners for the ability to use them. Feminism existed before Marx but of course manipulated and revised his writings to their own gain. Feminism has always ridden the coattails of other movements or revolutionary change. Wether industrial capitalism, socialism or even the civil rights movement. Feminists always make movements to be about themselves, ultimately distracting from what the initial arguments set out to change. Feminism ignores Marx's key takeaway that capitalism withers away all those old systems (such as patriarchy) and progresses past new ones before they can take root. Antonio Gramsci refers to this as capitalist hegemony where capitalism must be by default the only culture that exists. It must control our desires lest it fall to the power of worker solidarity, national identity, family loyalty etc. Also, Engles and Marx were not against the family or marriage. They were against bourgeois marriage, which they viewed correctly as nothing more than a business contract devoid of higher substance like community unification or mutual love.
