Somewhat. It's more than a task, more than a by-product. But it's not
necessarily a "demand" -- though it depends on what you mean by a
"demand".

It's certainly not a demand as f.i. higher wages are. Abolition of the
family is not something you can demand from the government or any body
of the current system. It's pointless to face a system with demands if
fulfilling those demands would jeopardise that system itself.

But it's more than a mere task in that it should be, IMO, strongly
incor****ated into propaganda. It ought to be part of the program. For
the fight against one's own family is something that goes about every
day every second in the current world. And those who undertake this
struggle (and more so those who win it) are at good deal more promising
human material for a revolution than those who don't.
