Destroy the Nuclear Family

Marx says that the ==Bourgeoisie== conception of the family will be abolished, not that family itself will. Conflating this conception of family with family in general is making more assumptions then is reasonable and all while having no basis in Marx.

The bourgeois family will be replaced with whatever will arise out of the ruins of capitalist society, NOT with your dreamworld.

I can't imagine living with more than 2 or 3 other people. lmao. It would drive me fucking nuts.
When my brother and sister left the nest and it was just me and my parents, that was comfy as fuck.
My brother is a lot older than me and moved out when I was young so I don't remember what it's like living with him. But I was happy as hell when my sister moved out.
When I lived in a dorm with 3 room mates, I hated it. I'm a loner. I prefer living by myself or with my parents because I've lived with them all my life so I'm used to them and get along with them fine.
People like having their privacy. It's bad enough when I forget to flush my kleenex and my dad sees it. lmao. When I had room mates, I felt like I could never jerk off in my household.

I don't want to believe it, but a deep part of me believes that females don't have the same primal ideas about family as us.
Females are similar to deer, in that they believe the ideal is to raise children on their own and to not live with a man. As we see females get more and more "sexual freedom" this is the trend we get. However, it makes men very unhappy at the same time.
So in order to fix this, we need to start selecting HARD for family-loving traits. But there are little fertile females available these days, trying to cut that even more would be damn near impossible.

OP mentions nuclear family and capitalist family I think we're all talking about the bourgeoisie conception of family in this thread when we talk about 'family' today. After all, it is the only form of family (other than single) you can have in capitalism.

Women are only having children without men because society is telling them to, because capitalism would rather have five independent consumers with shit financial planing and credit cards rather than one mother holding the checkbook of the entire family and hoarding cash. Or to put it more bluntly this is more of a "nurture" problem rather than a "nature" problem. The whole trend of unlimited sexual freedom leads to single cougars and bachelors instead of tight families.
Figure that 50 years ago people worked starting at 16-17 and were expected to have at least one kid by 20, today most children are told to stay in school through at least 22 and not have children until after they buy their first home. Workaholics don't self-perpetuate.

It was more of a mass reply to the sentiment of some anons in this thread that family itself will be abolished.
