But seriously if anyone can recommend good recent marxist writing apart from federici (who owns) that would be great.

well it all started with this avatar 
interesting to note as well sharecropping was originally a form of resistance to wage labor and the black codes which reproduced slavery because it allowed freedmen to have their own land, family, and negotiate over the crop lien.
thats not to say the bourgeois family is good, clearly it is not. but communal living can be oppressive and the nuclear family can be progressive, what matters is the relations of production and the leadership of a genuinely revolutionary party (which the republican party actually was for a time). this is what it actually means in history to say the relations of production are determinant in the last instance.

Actually the modern nuclear family is a recent development concurrent with the rise of capitalism, and indeed one reinforces the other. Family structures were quite different in the preceding feudalism and the initial enforcement of the nuclear family involved, for example, the confiscation of land from women who matrilineally owned it until then so as to render women completely dependent on male income. For more see FEDERICI, Silvia. 2004. Caliban and the Witch: Women, The Body, and Primitive Accumulation.
That working class women are often in the avant-garde of familial configurations (single mothers) while bourgeois families remain in tight nuclear structures despite any pretenses of progressiveness, is not a coincidence.
Cheers.
Which is why i didnt qualify the phrase "family structure" to refer to any specific type. The modern Capitalist social schism is not between Matriarchal Family Structure or Patriarchal Family Structure, but rather between family structure and no family structure at all.

that's pleasant.

yeah love is such a passionate, unpredictable thing, although it's sad it led that guy to hell.
