So why does Zig Forums hate the nuclear family (in comparison with extended family clans)?
In my opinion the nuclear family is much more child oriented and is what destroyed familial nepotism in advanced capitalist economies, but everyone here seems to idealize extended families as mutual-aid societies rather than a group of people subservient to a tyrannical patriarch (usually an old fart or the eldest son).
What you said isn't really controversial, and the breakdown of the nuclear family unit is a symbol of declining middle class independence and a growing economic dependence on networking and nepotism to get jobs.
Because the nuclear family is literally disadvantageous where I live and me living alone would be a retarded waste of resources
Family structure changes as the material conditions do. New familial relations, that may or may not resemble previous ones, will emerge in a communist society. I think you're mistaking the left's indifference to this as hatred.
The nuclear family is soooo important. What if these two men, didn't act like men? What could happen if someone just didn't allow them to be themselves
Just think, of what might have happened, if the nuclear family didn't exist, and we were deprived of these two presidential men
It's not that we hate the nuclear family it's just that socialism will bring about the material conditions where it will stop existing all on its own.
This, complaining about the decline of the nuclear faily model is akin to complaining about the decline of photo developer shops.
Yes, and in the wrong way. Due to the economic pressure parents want to make sure that the kids 'turn out right,' which usually means that the little brat must become my literal clone and if it doesn't must be punished. Kids in every other model have more freedom and get wider adult support.
What? No lol. In the extended family model you marry whoever the patriarch preapproved because it will benefit the clan. You can't participate in activities that are outside the norm of the family and if you start getting strange ideas you'll be pressured by -everyone- until you cave down. I've seen it all the time with Indian (and to a lesser extent chinese) families, girls know who they will marry, the men are all awkward because they never talked to women, and they all think about "what will grandpa/my cousins/etc. say!" Rather than what is good for them or even what is logical.
Given that communism will consist of village communities the suburban model of a family will wither away on its own as the daily activity of the community will organically bind them together as a single unit with all the children as siblings, growing up together with the support network of the community's adults.
