The article in question:
Family is a terrible way to satisfy our desire for love and care, according to writer and academic Sophie Lewis. The solution? Abolish it
Let’s start by abolishing our kitchens. For the 19th-century socialist philosopher and silk merchant Charles Fourier, utopia was the house without a kitchen.
If we start by abolishing our kitchens, what else could we like to destroy and create? A bit of self-governance here, a collectively organized childcare center there: start in the kitchen, and we could end up with a whole new society.
The legal and economic structure of the nuclear home warps love and intimacy into abuse, ownership, and scarcity. Children are private property, legally owned and fully financially dependent on their parents.
