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.
