Is there a natural Human Right to be able to support a household on one adult income?

I think you are referring to Responsibility and not Right. Yes, there is the resposibility to support household with whatever income.

Just that we are in a wrong monetary system promulgated by the Traders who ruled the world and have now outsourced it to governments. So the system is not supportive of households or Family.

@in10RjFox @in10RjFox @in10RjFox And you think Socialism and Communism are the systems that support the family?

The Communist Manifesto advocates abolishing the family.

@Reason10 None of them support Family. Their only need for people to make more babies so there is more and more demand and problems in future.

@Reason10 Marx did not advocate abolishing the family . . he hypothesised that the bourgeois family, based on capital and private gain (ie. not the model for the vast majority of families in history) would vanish along with the collapse of capitalism.

He did, however, advocate the abolition of child labour.

So better to have a family built around emotional rather than material bonds 🙂

@SunshineGirl You're missing a lot. You must be a confirmed communist, despite all the historical evidence that it has FAILED in every place in the world it was tried. Marx wanted to get rid of the family and the concept of PRIVATE PROPERTY. Communist countries were pretty good at accomplishing that, which is why they are all the GHETTOS of the world. And as far as child labor goes, your wonderful ELECTRIC CAR (that you liberals fawn over) can ONLY be made possible by cobalt mining, which is done by CHILD SLAVE LABOR.

@Reason10 No, the commies wouldn't take me, as I'm a chartered actuarist and pension fund adviser 😈

Marxism and communism are rather different things. Even communism takes on different forms (Marx predicted, with regret, that his philosophy would not work in China as it was insufficiently industrialised).

Lol, my car is a bicycle 🚴🏻‍♀️
