Call me a fun urbanite but i genuinely do not understand the appeal of families, traditional or otherwise. My interaction with my own extended family consists around my uncle getting into prison for swindling real estate developers and the rest of us having to gouge our pockets to pay for his bail, my other uncle having a psychotic breakdown and calling the cops on us because he thought my dad killed my grandfather, my older cousin who got kicked out of his house by his own wife after having an affair with his own maid and subsequently freeloaded in our house for years, etc. Just a collection of the most dysfunctional retards that you have to tolerate simply because you "share the same blood". With other families too, whenever i ask my peers about things they appreciate the most about their family, it always invariably involves a form of nepotism or another, like 'my dad's cousin help secure me a job in a SOE' or 'my aunt help convince my university to not expel me' which in my eyes represent the most deranged and backwards form of corruption that harms economic development.

It's almost like social relations are driven by material conditions and that contemporary material conditions make familial relationships far less important than they once were, for better and for worse.

yeah, this kind of nepotistic mutual aid is like one of the key reasons why people stick to their families. it's kind of soulless but you'll have a difficult time surviving in a country that doesn't have strong welfare without some sort of community to fall back on so you don't end up getting randomly fucked and go homeless, and the family is one of the few communities capitalism allows you to build by necessity of the way people breed

Stop being dense. The abolition of these structures and forms of life will be a by-product of the abolition of bourgeois society as a whole, just like the abolition of religion. Marxists relate their existence and functioning to the economic organization of society and thereby their abolition with the abolition of this organization in its concrete totality. Anarchists on the other hand proceed from a priori, moralist, abstract categories rather than classes and production. For them the family, school, church etc are 'bad' or 'evil' because they restrict an arbitrarily defined 'freedom' or impose some 'authority' or 'hierarchy'. Such vulgarizations will never lead to a coherent, scientific understanding and consequently never lead to the actual, real-life abolition of these structures of oppression.

Children are indeed an oppressed group (group not class), the family and school are inherently exploitative institutions designed to restrict free human development for the sake of reproducing bourgeois relations. For millions they can leave permanent scars for their entire life.

i wasn't really making a point, but i feel like you're misrepresenting marxism here. marxism does progress from abstract models of political economy, and it does so to pretty great and applicable ends, but if we're talking about orthodox marxism there was a bunch of stuff that m&e did kind of take as an assumption and did not bother to investigate further, even within the limits and the intellectual landscape they were working with. their work isn't really totalizing
