True Left

Time to revisit an issue mentioned earlier. Our enemies are claiming monogamy as Western. No, outlawing polygamy (thereby driving it underground, thus adding deception into the issue) is Western:

Whites invented monogamy and therefore they must be credited with inventing the family

Monogamous couples existed in all civilizations. The difference is that non-Western civilizations never outlawed polygamy, because they at least understood that the state should stay out of people's private lives.

Polygamy involving consent of all parties involved involves no violence. Prohibiting non-violent behaviour is initiated violence. Therefore prohibiting polygamy is initiated violence. Therefore Western civilization initiates more violence (no surprises!) than non-Western civilizations on this issue also.

In societies where polygamy is legal, someone who wants a monogamous marriage can require a potential spouse to sign a legally binding contract stipulating that they are to be each other's only spouse. Such contracts do not affect anyone else, so those who prefer a polygamous marriage can also have the arrangement they prefer. By crudely outlawing polygamy wholesale as Western civilization does), however, people who prefer polygamy are oppressed.

Again I must repeat that I personally look down on polygamists, but firstly looking down on someone is no reason to initiate violence against them, and secondly I would rather polygamists be out in the open so that I know whom to look down on. Under Western civilization, actual polygamists hide their extramarital affairs and feign monogamy in public, thus making it harder to spot (and revere) the genuine monogamists. Thus Western civilization screws up everything. As usual.

Duchesne even inadvertently admits that monogamy is oppressive:

young females will have a larger pool of males to choose husbands from than would be available in a society where monogamy was the law.

In other words, outlawing monogamy reduces female choice. (This by itself is already a concession to my long-held assertion that Western civilization is more sexist than non-Western civilizations.)

And Duchesne openly admits that Western civilization is oppressive:

All other peoples on the earth remained attached to their psychological predisposition for polygamy until the monogamous West awoke them from their biological slumber with their incredible economic success and military expansion, forcing them to adopt monogamous institutions.

No, all other peoples remained attached to their unrestricted ability to choose either monogamy or polygamy according to their own individual preferences until the violently polygamy-outlawing West violently colonized them.

Duchesne even lets us know what he really cares about:

In chapter 8 he further observed "that monogamous marriage norms...create a range of social and psychological effects that give the societies that possess them a big edge in competition against other groups" (263).

Yes, outlawing polygamy is a highly effective tribal strategy. Yes, by outlawing polygamy, Western civilization gave the "white" tribe the edge required to colonize around the world. This is what makes Western civilization uniquely inferior.

While Greek monogamy limited each male citizen to a single wife, it was considered acceptable to import sex slaves, and wealthy men did. This approach is interesting because it addresses one of the fundamental social dilemmas posed by  polygynous marriage systems, by keeping local women available to poor men for marriage (avoiding the problems created by poor unmarried males) while at the same time allowing rich men broad access to "imported" women.

This also happened during the colonial era. To rephrase, Western civilization oppresses:

1) "white" women by forcing them to marry poor "white" men;
2) "non-white" women by forcing them to be sex slaves for rich "white" men so that the rich "white" men would leave more "white" women for the poor "white" men;
3) "non-white" men by turning them into the new class of poor unmarried males (taking the place of the poor "white" men).

Western civilization is basically extremely violent redistribution of sexual resources to the ultimate advantage of poor "white" men. (Guess which group is the predominant rightist demographic!)

Solon’s laws provided for "state-subsidized brothels staffed with cheap and therefore readily available female prostitutes" in order to alleviate the polygynous inclination of men. This fact does not negate the monogamous character of ancient Greece since children born outside a monogamous marriage were not recognized as biological members of the household and were excluded from any inheritance. **** and concubinage was "a substitute for polygyny by the wealthy".

Let's also consider: if you were someone's wife, would you prefer your husband to visit prostitutes (who also have sex with many other men) or have other wives whom you can at least try to ensure do not have sex with other men? On STD considerations alone, the answer is obvious.

Nevertheless, despite his very own words exposing utter Western inferiority at every turn, Duchesne has the hubris to sum up:

Europeans were the only people in history to rise above the evolved animalistic impulses for polygamy to which the other races of the world remained entrapped until they were taught otherwise by white men.
