    Traditional family arrangements are a result of material relations. Change people's material relations and put the MOP in the hands of the working class, then allow people and society to figure out new family relations that better suit the new economic system. This process may take a few generations, but it should happen naturally. Don't put the cart before the horse.

        The point is that we can't imagine what the family unit under socialism will be like, and it's not a good idea to force it. There have been attempts to make people live communally in the Soviet Union and China that people wound up hating. There were revolutionary American Maoists in the 70s who were aggressively anti-monogamy, but they wound up either being torn apart through personal jealousies over everyone fucking each other all the time, or turned into sex cults. It took generations for the nuclear family to emerge under capitalism, and it will take generations for whatever family structure that replaces it to emerge under socialism.
