Abstract：The idea of family alienation and abolition of families can be traced back to ancient Greece. In Republic Plato suggested to put women and children into care of the state and abolish families. Early Christian communism practiced asceticism, advocating the renunciation of sexual relations and the abolition of family life. Medieval Christian communism advocated abstinence and celibacy, and having wives in common. The philanthropic Utopian communism advocated public education and national education, elimination of family education and patriarchy, and abolition of families. On the one hand, Marx and Engels criticized the practice of having wives in common, and on the other hand, they proposed abolition of families and gave it its true meaning: deconstructing the capitalist alienated family, eliminating the capital abstraction of the capitalist family and realizing the transformation of the abstract alienated family into the natural family. Family is a historic concept. Families in capitalist society are alienated as they are homogeneous with the production mode under private ownership, and they are both profit-driven, power-oriented and utilitarian. These characteristics can be traced back to the early stage of patriarchal families. The capitalist mode of production not only contributes to these alienation features, but also makes them more implicit and even worse. From the standpoint of Marx and Engels, this mode of production is the internal force for the elimination of alienated families. With the fundamental change of capitalist production relations, alienated families will fall apart, equal gender relations will be forged, and a new advanced form of natural families will be reconstructed.
