    Family abolition has always been something a core component of the communist revolution. Clearly it’s changed over the past few centuries. It’s funny to see Marxist-Leninists decry talk about family abolition when Marx and Engels repeatedly state that the family would be abolished and replaced with new, expansive, liberatory kinship structures.

    I don’t know about your figures about how many families are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. But ultimately I agree with the idea that youth liberation is both necessary for building a revolutionary movement and intrinsic to communism (or anti-market anarchism/socialism)





  • I don’t think this is a very good comparison, to be honest. While both are targets of genocide, the modes of genocide are different. Uyghers are facing the islamophobia reminiscent of the early '00s and a cultural attack. Palestinians are enduring a settler colonial genocide and apartheid beyond what the Uyghers are facing. Equating them like you did, not to speak even of comparisons, is, as you said, extremely roughly put.
