In Towards a New Socialism in Chapter 12 the concept of a Commune of 50-100 people replacing the family unit. During it he mentions how people have to pay dues to the commune and in the commune, some commune service might have to be paid. In a family unit these thinks aren’t paid there just given. Based on this fact alone I find the family unit superior then a 50 person commune. I finished the chapter on Communes. Can someone please explain why the commune is a better form of organizing small groups of people on communes is better to organizing them based on families.

It's impossible to predict the future. Of course the family unit will change/be abolished under communism but we do not know what it will actually look like. I agree, paying dues is stupid.

Why? Based on what I’ve read that dosen’t sound like a good thing.

Shure people should be more communal, but family units seem to be the best way of raising children.

Depends on what you mean by a "family". Some ultra-orthodox Jewish groups are heavily communal, with bio families often coming together as one big "family".
Christopher James
A family is child, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Children, parents, and grandparents share a house. Parents are obligated to take care of the grandparents. Most of the time when the people eat it’s food prepared by at least on member of a family.

WTF? There are no taxes in socialism. Not in USSR, not in Cuba, not in North Korea.
