Yes, they do. This doesn't mean being anti-family, it means that families are seen as means to the expansion of State power.

The traditional Marxist view on (bourgeoisie) families is that they maintain capitalism and the ruling class. In the case of today's neo-Marxism, this is quite expanded (see Theory) and the "bourgeoisie" seems to be anyone that disagrees with whichever variation of Critical Theory is being presented.

From the horse's mouth in the Communist Manifesto:

https://www.marxists.org/archi...

The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.

Abolition [Aufhebung] of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

I'll second the "Whatever.."

I signed up on eBay in 1997, had occasionally bought and sold many times over the years and accumulated a long history with positive feedback and reliable payment.

Tried to log in again a few months ago to buy sell a few things and discovered they had deleted my account with no warning. No explanation from customer support, who refused to help and repeatedly told me that it was "impossible" to recover my account. Can't imagine that I'm the only one.

Done and moved on.

Submission + - GoDaddy Goes Down, Anonymous Claims Responsibility

An anonymous reader writes: A member of the Anonymous hacktivist group appears to have taken down GoDaddy with a massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The widespread issue seems to be affecting countless websites and services around the world, although not for everyone. Godaddy.com is down, but so are some of the site’s DNS servers, which means GoDaddy hosted e-mail accounts are down as well, and lots more. It’s currently unclear if the servers are being unresponsive or if they are completely offline. Either way, the result is that if your DNS is hosted on GoDaddy, your site may also look as if it is down, because it cannot resolve.

As someone who manages a fairly large and growing database of user-created gaming content and visits Rapidshare, Megaupload, et al. regularly to grab recent releases, I can assure you that there are quite a few GBs of perfectly legitimate content on those file hosting sites. ... at least, until the files get deleted due to download inactivity :/

There. Now you've heard about many people using it for legal means.
