No doubt fiendish evil may lurk in the souls of any-or all- human
beings. But too much of it is associated with this venerated institution
of legal marriage.
In any public library you can find a whole shelf of books on the topic of divorce. Browsing them one gets the sickening feeling that the institution itself is toxic in capitalist society: all about money and private property .

Not too many democratic socialists talk about this very old now perspective on " bourgeois marriage ".
In general, even romantic love need not be selfish. Until then we will have more " Alfred Hitchcock Presents " crime fiction." They seemed like the perfect family.... "
