I disagree. Only 1 and 2 are bad because they are artificial creations of economic pressure.
Let me list the four models of families
1) Single parent family
2) Nuclear Family (mom dad kids)
3) Extended family (mom dad aunts uncles grand parents all in the same roof raising kids)
4) Communal child rearing (the whole community/village model)
Early human history was a mix of 3) and 4) but the parents in normal cases knew their offspring, so it wasn't promiscuity norms like Marxist believe and further more, in modern day when the nuclear family was destroyed capitalism kept going. Showing evidence that the nuclear family is not the fuel of capitalism - because a single funko pop collecting consumer drinking soymilk fuels capitalism far better then the nuclear family ever did. The most common model before industrial capitalism was a very strong family, it was mother and father surrounded by uncles, aunts, grandparents, and siblings all under the same roof with the community chipping in, and if you go back to prehistoric times you see more like 4) but with one major exception communal/village families of the past had the biological parents are the forefront and everyone else chipped in. The bio parents were the first layer of the band, and aunts uncles and community was the second and third. Marxist tried to say communal families were promiscuous and no one knew whos kids belonged to whom, when in reality it was a band model with bio parents at the front and the community surrounding them with many extended family/village family hybrids.
