'The first division of labour is that between man and woman for the propagation of children.' Marx & Engels.
Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this
infamous proposal of the Communists.
On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family,
based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed
form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state
of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the
family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.
The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its
complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of
capital.
Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children
by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.
from The Communist Manifesto (1848, English translation 1888)
