The homoousian doctrine reflected the early Christian proletariat abandoning its class hatred.

Evidence

But Fromm saw the concept as an abandonment of attitudes opposed to the father and as the outcome of a centuries-long process of adaptation which did not affect the totality of individual psychological structures, but only a sector which was common to everyone. It was a process of adaptation to the existing real social situation', in which any hopes of a collapse of the ruling class and of a victory of their own class were so out of the question that it would have been pointless and uneconomical, from the psychic point of view, to persist in the attitude of hate’ which was typical of the early Christian proletariat. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 223
