This exactly represents the philosophical “thinking” behind the opposition to the #metoo movement. You wrote: “The capitalist system hasn’t gotten rid of this [might makes right] , but the class struggle of capitalism leads in the direction of ridding the world of this brutality and finally realizing the progressive, humanistic ideals of the enlightenment.”

You believe capitalism creates the conditions for an end to brutality and arbitrary rule, while realizing progressive humanistic ideals. This is a very distant philosophy from that of Marxism. Only a socialist economic system can move society closer to a classless society, making possible the end of brutality and arbitrary rule. These two seeming failures on the part of the state are not in fact failures, but the means to the end of maintaining the class system and protecting and promoting the political-economic interests of the oligarchic capitalist class.
