Books like Der Ursprung der Familie, des Privateigenthums und des Staats by Friedrich Engels


In "Der Ursprung der Familie, des Privateigentums und des Staates," Friedrich Engels traces the historical emergence and interconnection of the nuclear family, private property, and the state. He argues that the conventional monogamous household is not a timeless institution but a later development closely linked to capitalist social relations. Engels explores how these elements shape each other, suggesting that the patriarchal family structure reinforces private property and legitimizes the state. He concludes that a shift toward communal living and communal ownership could transform sexual relations and render the state unnecessary.
