Onebrow, the context matters.
Marx, Engels and every Communist movement since has advocated the abolition of the family because they see it as part of patriarchal oppression of the capitalist system, the family unit also is an impediment to the influence and control of the state.
You can argue the semantics of it all day, but this has been and is a primary goal of every Communist agenda. You could also argue that Marx had good intentions in wanting to have the children into the care of the state, but the results in every country where communism is tried, look the same:
" We were seduced into returning to our hometowns in the villages so they could reveal our true identities. Then the genocide began. First, it was the men.
They took my father. They told my family that my father needed to be reeducated. Brainwashed. But my father's fate is unknown to this day. We can only imagine what happened to him. This is true for almost all Cambodian widows and orphans. We live in fear of finding out what atrocities were committed against our fathers, husbands, brothers. What could they have done that deserved a tortured death?
Later the Khmer Rouge killed the wives and children of the executed men in order to avoid revenge. They encouraged children to find fault with their own parents and spy on them. They openly showed their intention to destroy the family structure that once held love, faith, comfort, happiness, and companionship. They took young children from their homes to live in a commune so that they could indoctrinate them."
The country is 250 years old, BLM is 6 years old. Its founders are still alive, speaking and organizing - that's a big difference. The ancient wisdom says, by their fruits ye shall know them. The fruits of the American experiment are greater prosperity, freedom and advances in science over the last 200 years (the effects of which have been felt across the world) than at any other time in human history. If African-Americans broke off from the United States and were their own country with their own economy, they'd be the 15th richest nation in the world.
The fruits of the BLM movement include abolishing the police department in Minneapolis.

They also include the funding cuts and in police departments in Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Ferguson and others. The results have which are a tremendous increase in the number of homicides. Good intentions aside, black Americans are now being murdered at an unprecedented rates across this country thanks to the efforts of Black Lives Matter.
These neighborhoods now have burnt down black businesses with no hopes of re-opening because now it's not only burnt out, but the police are decreasing their patrols of the neighborhoods so it's too high risk to invest in. A lot of businesses are compromised by the new, and much higher price of insurance that you'd have to purchase and with things going up in smoke every time there is a police action, most outsiders don't want to invest in these communities. And most of the black business people that live there can't afford to now.
