It seems to me that the working class must work towards industrializing domestic labor and abolishing the family. But I am not sure how that might concretely be organized. It's not really as self-contained as a struggle for national liberation.

Pic unrelated.

One could argue that the current state of capitalism actually reinforces the family, since we've officially entered such a late stage that most workers think of only two things - labour, and the fact that the meager capital they acquired this way can be used to let their children survive to do the same. At least if their child doesn't literally die of being poor before they die of old age, they can say they kinda sorta achieved something.

It's the last bastion, though. As capitalism descends to ever more hellish levels, one can assume that people will lose the last excuses they had to commit financial suicide by having kids, as it becomes that much closer to actual, tangible suicide to do so.

Am I thus advocating for accelerationism to help end the family unit, along with its traditional effects of causing class warfare?
fuck maybe I don't fucking know, why not
not like it could make things that much worse
