Very briefly mentioned by Karl Marx and even referenced I think in Animal Farm is the idea that women will be held “in common” and available to all.

(And then there was the 19th century Mormon polygamy "ideal"...where men could amass extra wives...some 2, some 3, some 5, some a dozen--like Romney's great-grandpa -- some 27, some with 45...thereby effectively hoarding them and leaving up to half of the Mormon male population in the 1880s and early 1890s with no Mormon female to partner up with)

The male side of my family have been LDS for 170 years and those who were in plural marriages numbered about 8, my branch of the family were opposed to the practice.

I think that if you polled the several thousands of my cousins they would tell you that your statistics suck.
