Description: The Origin of the Family Private Property and the State (1884) was a provocative and profoundly influential critique of the Victorian nuclear family. Engels argued that the traditional monogamous household was in fact a recent construct closely bound up with capitalist societies. Under this patriarchal system women were servants and effectively prostitutes. Only Communism would herald the dawn of communal living and a new sexual freedom and in turn the role of the state would become superfluous.
