There's no need to double-post, Comrade Reds, there is an "edit"-button, by're way :)
Anyway's. To answer your question more thoroughly than just handin' yo dumbarse (No pun intended) an article to read (It's on Marxist.org, by the way.) but what I think is that Marxism's opposed to Marriage: Not necessarily any people to get married, but to remove the "mainframe" of the restrictive form of couple's. But if where to be'ris sort of system, everyone should be allowed, heck, even to inanimate object's. Too much is it cared for such formalities, and same-sex is bad, married to many people..who cares? :P Since we're on the topic, Marxism is also opposed to the "Family"-system, too. Heheheh! Not far from it, no.

Don't confuse this with an attack on monogamy or anything like that.

Many people will choose to have only one partner and many children will choose to live with their parents.

However, the family, as a legally binding unit will hopefully abolished.
