This is not what I believe.
I do not have a conspiratorial view of society, in which a capitalist class orchestrates things for nefarious purposes ala the Jews in antisemitic mythology. It is, rather, Capital, a disembodied abstract, which determines the behavior of all humans within capitalist systems, whether capitalist or worker. It is possible to be a good capitalist who treats her workers very fairly, and indeed to be an egalitarian at heart, and still have ones actions dictated wholly by Capital.
The solution does not lie in traditional leftist organizations like unions or the state, or worker's co-operatives, all of which simply rearrange Capital. The solution is the self-abolition of the working class. This position is a typical left-communist one, not a Stalinist or anarchist one, both of whom we regard as desiring to reproduce a fundamentally capitalist social order.
Capitalism vs Communism has already been tested against each other, Capitalism won. The Main divide today is between those who want to feminize society and turn the citizens into slaves for globalist tycoons and financiers, and those who fight for freedom: and want Men to be Men, and children to have actual childhoods.
Harris personifies this elite drive for feminization. Remember she is the one who wants school hours extended to 6PM and jailed truant Kids parents.
Better feminism than fascism. If it was a choice of the US and Great Britain to 'sissify' Germany, Italy, and Japan so that they would never end up with anti-human, fascist regimes again, then in view of the rarity of aggression of those countries since 1945, such seems like a good idea.
I do not accept "boys will be boys" as an excuse for bad behavior. If you want to know what is scary, it is the combination of testosterone and anorexia. Males can have anorexia, too, but there may be something to Julius Caesar seeing danger in the 'lean and hungry' look in Shakespeare's play. Some of the mass shooters look as if they were half-starved. Obviously that is no excuse for someone like Herrmann Goering, the fat, morphine-addicted Nazi sociopath...
Here are some men remarkably similar to America's enemies, at least ideologically, of World War II. Nothing sissy about them:
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
