There is no, nor should there be, irreconcilable contrast between the individual and the family, between the interests of the individual person and the interests of the family. There should be no such contrast, because family, does not deny, but combines individual interests with the interests of the family."

Horrifying.

Not really. In a well-functioning family individual and family interests are in tune (of course there are not well functioning families where, say, step-parents and stepchildren get into physical altercations.

Contrast to Georgia in 1860, where an individual slave had interests contrast to that of the plantation.

Odd a worker in tune with his fellow workers is horrifying. What then is a wage slave grinding it out in some Amazon warehouse to enrich Bezos and his investors?

In a family, yes, it is possible. With millions of individiuals? Hardly.

Also, you can leave your family. Good look leaving a proletarian dictatorship.

Good luck leaving just about any country when virtually the entire world wipes bum with the UN Charter on Human Rights and restricts freedom of movement in violation of Article 13.

Are you really comparing a slave in the 1800 to a amazon worker?
