“Ultimately it looks like a desire for punking of society,”
Good point. That’s why the Commies have taken it up. The Communist Manifesto is not about creating a workers paradise, but getting revenge on the Bourgeoisie. One way Marx proposed to do that was the attack and abolition of the traditional family.
Negative motives have ways of killing the golden goose, don’t they! Even if the bourgeoisie act like asses, they do society better good by being there than by being abolished by crude fiat. I’d love to have said asses as my customer, would be my viewpoint as a vendor of goods or services.
