Thinking of course of the line from the Communist Manifesto and further writing by Engles — how do you understand this concretely? How does it fit into a broader revolutionary project?

    Curious as to what the interpretations of this in context have been as well.

      Lot of marxist feminist work like that of Nancy Holstrum and Nancy Fraser and Ursula Huw's work has been spent on that an social reproduction. The general idea is that the atomized family structure in which a man dominates his wife like a boss and the woman's labor is exploited and family's are atomized from their communities etc. all reinforce capitalism and are dominating forces in people's lives. The current dominant family structure is a bourgeoisie construction based on the patriarchal inheritance of property and the subservience of women.

        Nancy Holstrum and Nancy Fraser and Ursula Huw

        Any good starter recs for each of the authors? Or maybe just a good primer on marxian analysis of feminism?

          Fortunes of Feminism and Capitalism: A Conversation in Critical Theory by Fraser, and for Huw's she wrote a book called Labor in the Global Digital Economy: The Cybertariat Comes of Age.
