Leave the family; familialism is a trap for desire and produces only repression.

gregk.co.uk
From Félix Guattari’s ‘Everybody Wants to Be a Fascist’:
Under these conditions, the capitalist system is forced to search internally for new formulas of totalitarianism. And so long as these are not found, capitalism will have to face struggles on unforeseeable fronts (managerial strikes, struggles of immigrants and racial minorities, subversion in the schools, in the prisons, in the asylums, struggles for sexual liberty, etc.) This new situation, which involves heterogeneous social groupings whose action is not channeled into purely economic objectives, is met by proliferation and exacerbation of repressive responses. Alongside the fascism of the concentration camps, which continue to exist in numerous countries,' new forms of molecular fascism are developing: a slow burning fascism in familialism, in school, in racism, in every kind of ghetto, which advantageously makes up for the crematory ovens. Everywhere the totalitarian machine is in search of proper structures, which is to say, structures capable of adapting desire to the profit economy We must abandon, once and for all, the quick and easy formula: "Fascism will not make it again." Fascism has already "made it," and it continues to "make it." It passes through the tightest mesh; it is in constant evolution, to the extent that it shares in a micropolitical economy of desire itself inseparable from the evolution of the productive forces. Fascism seems to come from the outside, but it finds its energy right at the heart of everyone's desire. We must stop, once and for all, being misled by the sinister buffooneries of those socio-democrats who are so astonished that their army, allegedly the most democratic in the world, launches, without notice, the worst of fascist repressions. A military machine as such crystallizes a fascist desire, no matter what the political regime may be. Trotsky's army, Mao's army, and Castro's army have been no exceptions: which in no way detracts from their respective merits. Fascism, like desire, is scattered everywhere, in separate bits and pieces, within the whole social realm; it crystallizes in one place or another, depending on the relationships of force. It can be said of fascism that it is all-powerful and, at the same time, ridiculously weak. And whether it is the former or the latter depends on the capacity of collective arrange-ments, subject-groups, to connect the social libido, on every level, with the whole range of revolutionary machines of desire.

DEMONS is the most fun you’ll have reading comics, weaving together the familialism of Love & Rockets, dark spooks of Hellboy, violent comedy of Deadpool, and the funniest pessimism one can squeeze out of Catholicism and old dead Russian philosophers 🤩💀❤️🔥

"but they argue its a process of the form of schizophrenia as a means of acting creatively as a seeker of desires!"

uhhhh no:
Finally, we do not at all think that the revolutionary is schizophrenic or vice verca. On the contrary, we have cosistently distinguished the schizophrenic as an entity from schizophrenia as a process; now the schizophrenic as entity can only be defined in relation to the arrests, the continuations in the void or the finalistillusions that repression imposes on the process itself. This explains why we have only spoken of a schizoid pole in the libidinal investment of the social field, so as to avoid as much as possible the confusion of the schizophrenic process (the schizoid pole) is revolutionary, in the sense that the paranoiac method is reactionary and fascist; It is not these psychiatric categories freed of all familialism that will allow you to understand the politico-economic determinations, but exactly the opposite. - Deleuze & Guattari, Anti-Oedipus, p379

I'm teaching the political economy of finance in the spring and by then I may have to just assign Banfield on amoral familialism rather than Hilferding and Schumpeter.

Here's what conservatives mean when they say "family values." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_...

Having liberal politicians, and pundits and journos treat conservatives' euphemisms at face value, instead of helping the public understand what they mean, provides cover for right-wing authoritarians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_values#In_politics In politics Main article: Familialism Familialism or familism is the ideology that puts priority on family and family values.[4] Familialism advocates for a welfare system where families, rather than the government, take responsibility for the care of their members.[4] In the United States, the banner of "family values" has been used by the US political right to express opposition to abortion, pornography, non-abstinence sex education, divorce, LGBTQ validity, same-sex marriage, feminism, gender diversity, secularism, and atheism. American conservative groups have made successful inroads promoting these policies in Africa since the early 2000s, describing them as African family values.[5] The phrase family values originated with the 1992 Republican National Convention, for their "Family Values Night", featuring Barbara Bush as the keynote speaker. In the short term the phrase was widely panned, and at the time the staying power of the idea was underestimated. [6]

"The macropod has one law: the outside must pass by way of the inside. [...] It is thus that Oedipus - or transcendent familialism - corresponds to the privatization of desire: its localization within segmented and anthropomorphized sectors of assembly circuits as the attribute of a personal being."

Most municipalities positioned themselves between favouring defamilialism ("mums to work") and explicit familialism ("mums at home"). Overall, municipalities with higher support to defamilialism had fewer user's of father's quota of "solo" parental leave.

"States rights" has been mostly used by conservatives to put a respectable veneer on support for slavery and other despicable traditions; just as "family values" is euphemism for pro-patriarchy, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-welfare. Media and politicians mislead their audience when they pretend otherwise.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/conservatism It was not until the late 18th century, in reaction to the upheavals of the French Revolution (1789), that conservatism began to develop as a distinct political attitude and movement. The term conservative was introduced after 1815 by supporters of the newly restored Bourbon monarchy in France, including the author and diplomat Franƈois-Auguste-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand. In 1830 the British politician and writer John Wilson Croker used the term to describe the British Tory Party (see Whig and Tory), and John C. Calhoun, an ardent defender of states’ rights in the United States, adopted it soon afterward. The originator of modern, articulated conservatism (though he never used the term himself) is generally acknowledged to be the British parliamentarian and political writer Edmund Burke, whose Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) was a forceful expression of conservatives’ rejection of the French Revolution and a major inspiration for counterrevolutionary theorists in the 19th century. For Burke and other pro-parliamentarian conservatives, the violent, untraditional, and uprooting methods of the revolution outweighed and corrupted its liberating ideals. The general revulsion against the violent course of the revolution provided conservatives with an opportunity to restore pre-Revolutionary traditions, and several brands of conservative philosophy soon developed. This article discusses the intellectual roots and political history of conservatism from the 18th century to the present. https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-C-Calhoun Typical of Calhoun’s defense of slavery were remarks he delivered in February 1837 (excerpted here): We of the South will not, cannot surrender our institutions. To maintain the existing relations between the two races inhabiting that section of the Union is indispensable to the peace and happiness of both. It cannot be subverted without drenching the country in blood and extirpating one or the other of the races. Be it good or bad, it has grown up with our society and institutions and is so interwoven with them that to destroy it would be to destroy us as a people. But let me not be understood as admitting, even by implication, that the existing relations between the two races, in the slaveholding states, is an evil. Far otherwise; I hold it to be a good, as it has thus far proved itself to be, to both, and will continue to prove so, if not disturbed by the fell spirit of Abolition. I appeal to facts. Never before has the black race of Central Africa, from the dawn of history to the present day, attained a condition so civilized and so improved, not only physically but morally and intellectually... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_values In politics Main article: Familialism Familialism or familism is the ideology that puts priority on family and family values.[4] Familialism advocates for a welfare system where families, rather than the government, take responsibility for the care of their members.[4] In the United States, the banner of "family values" has been used by the US political right to express opposition to abortion, pornography, non-abstinence sex education, divorce, LGBTQ validity, same-sex marriage, feminism, gender diversity, secularism, and atheism.
