Explain This

Jordan Peterson is correct: the Marxists are wrong to presuppose, but are not totally wrong to presuppose, at the bottom of all structures, all is not a war of all groups against all other identity groups. History is not just a brutal, endless of struggle of oppressor identity groups oppressing victimized oppressed groups—on and on until a social utopia ends all of this horrendous debacle. Only a utopia will not be the final result, but a vicious totalitarian state in which one group terrorizes other groups utterly. This endless, pitiless struggle is not the entire historical record. There are also love, peace, stability and cooperation all over the West in the last 3,000 years. Especially after the Age of Enlightenment, law and order, freedom, prosperity, well run, well-maintained, well-functioning Western democracies emerged and prevailed. Marxism does not adequately account for this positive, progressive uptick in advancing Western societies.
