Abstract: Adultism is a manifestation and a result of unequal power relations between older and younger people and in turn contributes to reproducing inequality between them. In this paper, we argue that adultism is more than the relationship between age groups and can only be adequately understood through a comprehensive historical materialist theory of social power relations. Only such a theory allows us to discover the material and ideological reasons that produce an unequal generational order and make it a problem. To do this, we draw in particular on contributions from intersectionality research and social reproduction theory leaning on thoughts of Karl Marx. Based on our understanding of these theoretical research perspectives, we examine the preconditions for the emergence of adultism in contemporary capitalist societies based on domination and oppression, ask about the tendencies inherent in these societies that make adultism questionable, and conclude by outlining possible paths towards countering adultism in society.
