I saw this post by @clementinemorrigan recently that said:
- We will not understand Jeffrey Epstein and all of the powerful people involved in the organized sexual abuse of children without a political understanding of how child sexual abuse functions.
- Until Dorothée Dussy’s work is translated and widely read, we will never understand what is happening. Until child sexual abuse is understood as a political issue, we will never understand how power works.
- The sexual abuse of children is a foundational form of domination and violence that structures our world. One of the primary mechanisms of this form of violence is dissociation. If we do not apply our knowledge of this to Jeffrey Epstein, we will not understand Jeffrey Epstein.
- Currently, the left has no political analysis of child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse is barely discussed and when it is, it is discussed through the lens of the “personal healing” of survivors. We don’t think about child sexual abuse politically and we don’t think about it as a system of power that structures our society — but it is.
- Dorothée Dussy, a French anthropologist, wrote a book called “The Cradle of Domination” which is an anthropological study of incest. This book has not been translated into English despite its profound political importance. If we want to understand Jeffrey Epstein and his many powerful accomplices, we must analyze this form of power and domination through the work that has already been done on how child sexual abuse functions. Yet the work being done on how child sexual abuse functions is deeply repressed and marginalized.
- Child sexual abuse is not only a political issue when it is carried out in an organized way by rich and powerful people. It is always a political issue. Every single one of us knows at least someone who is involved in the sexual abuse of children. Many of us take part in the dissociation necessary for child sexual abuse to continue. If we do not face this and begin to see all child sexual abuse through a political lens, we will never make sense of Jeffrey Epstein and the organized sexual abuse of children carried out and allowed by the most powerful people in the world.
In the world of AI, this should never be the case that we don’t have access to any information or knowledge through written form. So I took it upon myself to translate this book using AI into English. A gift to my fellow English speaking anarchists and abolitionists. I must say, I can see why this is a must read. It kind of broke my brain seeing how the world that we are operating in is deeply rotten to the core and all our institutions, governments and culture are upholding a world where children are used for rape as currency as its ultimate manifestation.
