All this PC crap from pregnant persons / children being encouraged by the state to begin the process of changing sex / lavatories now becoming labelled "urinals & cubicles, rather than ladies & gents etc. etc. is I believe modern Marxism, and always perpetuated by those on the left.
Old fashioned communism in all its guises, brainwashed people that families are an evil concept, and that the state is actually their family. Hence everyone is everyone elses comrade.
As TB says the masses are either controlled by religion or dictatorship. If you outlaw religion (as most communist blocs did) then convince people to give the same loyalty to the state as they used to give their families, then you have total control - for a while at least.
I think all this PC nonsense is a different, more subtle approach to bring about the same thing. The breakdown of much of the society which we have known for centuries.
The reason it doesn't work long term is that human nature needs a reasonable degree of individual freedom of thought and expression, and people see through it in the end.
Hence Brexit, Trump, the rebellion by people across the western world against the political elite.
Many people may not be able to articulate exactly what is wrong, but they know in their bones they are being stitched up from all angles by those who rule over them, and want to change things.
They may be currently changing those in charge with less than ideal replacements, but in the longer term that may not mater too much, if things start to head generally in the right direction.
Time will tell.
