Nietzsche slave conscious and Romance

So Capitalism lead to the worldly sphere controlling capital, and the domestic and family sphere becoming marginalised.

With women assigned to the marginalised family sphere, women became marginalised and their whole existence limited to the property of their fathers or their husbands.

As a result women were forced to justify the family sphere and their relationships with father and husband.

It is no surprise that in Capitalist countries women created the Romantic novel and the exaltation of Romance to a level where it really could fill a whole life and be justification in itself for life.

This is identical to Nietzsche's account for how Jewish slaves came to justify the restraint and poverty of slavery, turning it from limited life to a reason for existence itself.

Now in the case of "poverty" this does not follow empirically because in India austerity was from time immemorial a way to wrestle ourselves free from desires and seek a higher level of freedom, something even Princes like Siddhartha followed turning their back on worldly wealth and satisfaction. But there is no such joy for Romance which seems to genuinely have arisen from Capitalist slavery.

One must note the importance of Romance in India. I do not speak Hindi but understand the romantic language available exceeds that of English in which Romance novels were first written. And Arabic is well known as a Romantic language also. But both these cultures of North India and Arabia are deeply Capitalist if not before then certainly after the Mogul Empire. So one can hypothesise more generally that cultures where ownership of the world falls into private hands (Capitalism) and which assign women to the domestic sphere (which is a natural assignment given that women make milk and are needed to feed babies, and also carry the child during gestation, and I believe are inclined to a stronger bond to babies following the hormones released during gestation and childbirth -- obviously not always); those cultures, are also more likely to develop a Romantic culture to justify the bondage of women.

This has obvious been through many reflections and ironies. The traditional Pre-Roman culture of the Western Celts placed equal power between men and women hence the famed disaster when Romans encountered Boudicca. She could not understand the lack of respect they paid her, and they could not understand the power she assumed. So as Roman's did they raped her daughters and flogger her naked in public. Nice people those "civilised" Romans... yeah "what did the Roman's do for us?" other than slavery, genocide and imposing unequal social relations that gave rise to the Right-Wing and destroyed Britain for 2000 years. So when the Troubadours of Mediaeval France elevated the position of women in what became Chivalry this ancient sense of sexual equality was rebranded within Capitalism and ironically men subordinated themselves to idealised women. But its all just reflections of Capitalism placing unequal power into the hands of worldly and domestic sphere. Quite how any children were born without mental illness after the destruction of the domestic sphere by Capitalism is a mystery... or perhaps this is the whole psychosis that Capitalism and ownership created? It is no surprise that at the height of Empire the Victorians returned to chivalry and idealised women.

Worth noting that prior to the Ironage Celts it was actually Women that held the power. Fertility and the Earth were the main thing observed in the world. The ability of plants, land and women to produce new offspring was the most important power of the world... then and now. While Capitalism has rather obscured this as the layer of business and industry has obscured the true working of the world, even a quick look outside to see the Sun light reminds us that the true source of the world lies in Nature. Capitalism is just a thin layer that mankind has laid over the top. Vaccines was a funny version of this. All vaccines do is give the natural immune system a heads up on a pathogen so that it is better prepared when it meets it. Mankind adds almost nothing, the power all exists in the natural immune system we are born with and which women nurture in the womb. And to add to this SARS2 naturally evolved into Omicron and a less lethal version anyway. Mankind had almost nothing to do with all of this, part from arguably creating SARS2 in a laboratory in the first place. So the world has changed very little since the days when female fertility was considered the core force of the universe. Yet there was no Romance here. Romance remains a modern creation that comes as a reaction to domestic slavery brought about by the decline of the domestic through ownership and Capitalism.
