The latest enemy of communism, kitchens

My narc mom and dad made me clean my room and told me, "no," many times!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

If you want to radically change a successful thing, you first have to destroy the successful thing so that nobody has an interest in preserving it. Then, you provide the alternative, and dismiss anyone resisting your alternative as hanging on to the old, obviously failed thing.

A family is a community not under party control and thus can become a seed for anti-communist agitation or subversion or even just a place where criticism of communism and the party can be articulated without party oversight to reign it in or gulag the critic.

Thats unironically it. Communism and communists demand total subservience to communism and the party, there can be no community outside the party's control, no human interaction that is not guided and control by communist policy and directive. Thats why commie states are/were the biggest surveillance apparti in human history. The CIA would wish to have even 1% the power and possibilities the KGB/StaSi/MSS/SDB and so on had.

I think their version of what it means is eliminating inheritance and any "inequalities" that arise from success.

TBF family abolition dates back to 18th century writing like Engels and Fourier, USSR wasn't real communism (they had to drop 80% of the r-slurred shit to be functional). I think, while still somewhat r-slurred, their views were influenced by family conditions of their time.

Nowadays, though, you have people arguing family is the basic unit of capitalism/fascism, that individual family unit is oppressive both to children and to women, because it ties them into hierarchy (children) or housework. On top of that private ownership of things, even basic ones like houses, is smallest capitalist building block. So the most extreme people see family abolition as necessary step to achieve their vision of socialism or anarchism.

Nixon commented that at the time of the debate, he was sure Khrushchev's claim was wrong, but Nixon was not sure that his own assertion was correct. Nixon said that events had proven that he was indeed right because Khrushchev's grandchildren (Khrushchev's son Sergei Khrushchev was a naturalized American citizen) now lived in freedom, referring to then recent collapse of the Soviet Union.

Every good idea has morons who push it harder to the fringe or insist on doing it a certain way.

"Hey normal people should get more of the economic fruits of labor so they can have nice stuff, too"

Not a bad idea

Somehow turns into:

"Abolish families. Everyone lives in a pod. You have no gender."

Wasn't one of Marx' criticisms of capitalism that it reduces family structure to economic dependence?

they can all give their own specific reasons but it usually falls into one of two categories:

a.) easier access to children

b.) never ending rage that they didn't have a (in their eyes) perfect childhood

Family and romantic love means people aren't investing into the revolution the most.

Also the left has nothing but contempt of whom and what they seem as the "strong".

Wtf is wrong with those people?

I CAN'T BE A GOOD MOM BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE UNFAIR TO KIDS WITHOUT GOOD MOMS

Where tf does this insane thinking come from???

Like how replacement theory is simultaneously a rightoid schizo conspiracy theory and also an extremely basic Democratic party platform that is frequently discussed openly. It's probably the most blatant example of this rhetoric strategy, which is essentially just coordinated gaslighting.

leftists hate other leftists tho

no orgasm bone! don't do it!!

!commies

The communal apartments in the early Soviet Union used community kitchens, but post 1950s apartments (the famous commie blocks) were single-family units with a kitchen

Kitchens were small, usually 6 m2 (65 sq ft)

if you let people have kitchens then they aren't forced to spend all of their free time standing in bread lines

The communism you see on twatter and dumblr was tried and bolsheviks themselves were so disgusted by it that they got rid of it in favour of more grounded approach.

The commies had a sane-ish reason. The early USSR was obsessed with modernity and efficiency. It's much more efficient for one person to cook for everyone than for everyone to cook their own meals. This is so obvious that even Ancient Rome had communal canteens. That the USSR infamously had food problems was all the more reason to maximize efficiency.

you can't build dwellings without a kitchen

You can, r-slur. It's called a hotel.

sorry no dinner tonight comrades, our pallet of hot pockets and mountain dew didn't arrive
