Analyzing the Victim-Victimizer Narrative in Marxism and Postmodern Leftism
The core doctrine of Marxism revolves around the victim-victimizer narrative, rooted in the story of Cain and Abel, where Cain resents Abel, embodying bitterness and envy. Marxism reinterprets this tale with Cain as the protagonist, emphasizing the economic victim-victimizer dynamic. Postmodern leftism evolves from Marxism by expanding this narrative to multiple dimensions of oppression. This metastatic Marxism simplifies understanding the world through power dynamics and morality by aligning with the victim. It is evident in modern universities promoting the identification of oppressor-oppressor groups in various dimensions, shifting focus to finding the next victim class and instigating hate towards the oppressors. This victim-victimizer narrative is deeply ingrained and transcends Marxism, encompassing power structures and divisions based on race, gender, or sexuality.
