This prepares the future worker for the labour discipline that capitalism demands, and gives servitude its ideological legitimation. Sexual repression is also fundamental to the oppression of young people. All of this oppression is rooted in the material conditions and social relations that shape our lives. The main productive work of capitalism is carried out in the factory, mine and office. But the vast amount of work that must be done to get today's workers back to work the next day and to nurture the workforce of tomorrow is carried out in the family home.
Domestic work is done at no cost to capitalism.
And in the isolation of separate families, the ideology of discipline and obedience is instilled in the future generation. Young people are prevented from living where they want, they are paid less than other workers, are stopped from going out at night in order to reinforce their subordination to the family wage, the family regime and the family's care. But oppression produces the spirit of rebellion. Young people are often to the fore in movements of resistance. The Bolshevik party itself was made up predominantly of teenagers and young workers when it took power in 1917.
