But it (DT: today's deliberate and multi-faceted attack on the Family) cannot be attributed to Marxism because the system in which we live is a perverted (“high” (!)) form of Capitalism. There is no indication in Marx’s writings that he would have supported (as just one example) the destruction of the Family UNDER CAPITALISM – in this case Globalising Ultra-Imperialism, “Neo-Liberalism”. There is, however, evidence that he would have supported the family, rather in the manner of what used to be “Catholic Action”. See my full post on this in this thread, but, within the Communist Manifesto, under the policy for Germany, he, inter alia advocated this:
12. All civil servants shall receive the same salary, the only exception being that civil servants who have a family to support and who therefore have greater requirements, shall receive a higher salary.
– indicating great sympathy for the position of the Family – with a policy to match, far beyond anything ever contemplated in the “what’s he WORRRRTH” ethos of the US of A throughout its entire history.
