Perhaps many have other things they want to concentrate more on.
I had a rather long discussion recently with Justin S. and others
on "Knabenliebe" etc, which touched precisely on the "family
question" too - those are related question. See my reply to Vladimir.

As for me, I'd like to return to than only later again. One small
thing only: Concerning Kibbutzes which you mentioned, it's necessary 
to see them also in the context of the partcular character of the
*state* under whose rule they're formed. This leads to a discussion
of the character of the Israeli state, and thus on the character
of zionism. This is another big and infected subject of discussion
today. As for me just now, I'd like to pass that over and concentrate
on other things.

One thing I'd like to recommend to you, and to Leszek S., Poland,
too, is to read Engels' important work: "The Origins of Private
Property, the State and the Family". It's best found on the Net
in the Marx-Engels archive (as Sally R. pointed out) under:
