Why Marxist Organizations Like BLM Seek to Dismantle the “Western Nuclear Family” | Mises Wire

But where does this hostility toward the family originate? Partly, it comes from the theories of Marx and Engels themselves, and their views that an earlier, matriarchal version of the family rejected private property as an organizing principle of society. It was only later that this older tribal model of the family gave way to the modern patriarchal family, which promotes and sustains private property.

Clearly, in the Marxian view, this new type of family must be opposed, since the destruction of this family model will make it easier to abolish private property as well.
