An odd question

[Owen-]

Ok. would there be monogamy in a Communist system?

[Connolly]

I would certainly hope not :D

If one wished, they could. But there is no enforcement of it by law, and hopefully no religious influence in society.

[Aurora]

Its more than likely that monogamy will stop being the norm after a certain amount of time.

[Fawkes]

Marriage would most likely die out anyway, but I don't see any reason why one could not "marry" more than one person.

[Boriznov]

As long it's not forced like the evangelists

[Fawkes]

Actually, I think I'm going to re-phrase/elaborate on my answer. In a communist society, there would be no government to recognize the legal aspects of marriage and there would most likely not be a church to recognize the religious aspects of it, so how/why would marriage even exist?

[Owen-]

ok another one - would pedophilia be allowed in a Communist system?

[Owen-]

what abouti ncest?

I'm sure there would be settled partners, yes.


would pedophilia be allowed in a Communist system?
Well a lot of research on paedophilia has revealed that it comes from repressed sexuality. If this could be rectified, and in a more liberal and sexually open Communist society it shouldn't be a problem, we could see a decrease in it.

It would be up to the council in each area to decide on what measures to take against a proven paedophile. Through a transparent justice system, run by the workers, we would also see less of this "witchhunting" that we see today.

That said, I think sexual abusers should be shot.


what about incest?
Would is still occur? Probably.

Would it be tolerated? It would depend on whether it was consensual or not.

If it was forced or abusive? Action would be taken.

In general, sexuality would be a much more open topic in a Communist society. This would lead to less sexual repression and thus more abusove sexual acts which are rooted in this repression or humiliation or sel-hatred. Again though, some people are just evil ****s and should be shot. This goes for all rapists.

[Demogorgon]

Yes, it would be. One of the characteristics of falling in love is that you actually want to be monogomous. You love somebody so much that you want to be their's exclusively. Not everyone feels like that of course, but a lot of people do, so plenty of people will choose to have a single life partner.

[Lenin II]

There might be, although I think as humanity evolves, marriage will take a severe drop in popularity. If the world is Communist, I assume that society has become more enlightened, and thus would have realized that marriage is an exchange of vows that love does not require.

[Kropotkin Has a Posse]

Again though, some people are just evil ****s and should be shot.
I think shooting someone makes me an evil ****. But that's just me, all the same.

I would think and hope sincerely that people would acknowledge, as we do now, that people turn to such things as rape because of certain conditions thrust into their own faces. I'd wager that being molested as a child could easily turn you into a molester.

Anyways, if one's love for one individual only was strong enough, they wouldn't need a legal or church contract to give it an air of permanence.

It depends on what you mean by monogamy, if you mean monogamy as being exclusive with one life partner then yes, there will be. But if you mean it as a legal and/or religious binding marriage then no, it won't exist.

[The Grey Blur]

I think you're an idiot.

Are you actually apologising for rape? I know a guy who picked up a girl, took her to a forest park, raped her and strangled her. In other words, an evil **** who should be shot.


I'd wager that being molested as a child could easily turn you into a molester.
Did you even read past the part of my post which offended your liberal sensibilities? I clearly stated that paedophilia can come from repressed sexuality/other complications. Acknowledging the source doesn't mean we shouldn't be entirely intolerant of molestation when it actually happens, of any kind.

[Guerrilla22]

Yes, there will be monogomy, there will also be all sorts of other sex happening because under socialism/ communism people will naturally be more free to be themselves. Under such a system people will be free to express their sexaulity as they please without the hang ups of bourgeois morals.

[Janus]

One of the primary reasons for monogamy is for purposes of property transferal to a legitimate heir. A communist society would not only undermine that but also promote greater freedom in terms of how people want to choose/select their relationships.
