You might want to read the Communist Manifesto by Marx when you get a free moment. 
>From that document you will find such as this:

"Bourgeois marriage is, in reality, a system of wives in common and thus, at the
most, what the Communists might possibly be reproached with is that they desire to
introduce, in substitution for a hypocritically concealed, an openly legalized system
of free love. For the rest, it is self-evident that the abolition of the present
system of production must bring with it the abolition of free love springing from
that system, i.e., of prostitution both public and private."

But my point was that to Marx the state (the collective) is everything. So to
suggest adultery does no harm to the state and is thus OK even though it can
harm individuals is a Marxian idea. 

Perhaps as you read the Manifesto you'll be surprised that Marx also believed
no individual should own property. The collective should own everything.

Platt
