Quotes by Jasper Becker (?)

“The Communist Party’s explicit aim was to destroy the family as an institution: The framework of the individual family, which has existed for thousands of years, has been shattered for all time... We must regard the People’s Commune as our family and not pay too much attention to the formation of a separate family of our own.”
