> Any honest examination of the destruction of the social family unit easily shows that this was not due to capitalism, but progressive and socialist legislation that encouraged disintegration of the family units.

Can you give concrete examples of legislation that "encouraged disintegration of the family units"?

> If anything, capitalism's endorsement of these holidays brings families CLOSER together, than they normally exist during the rest of the year

How so? Would Christmas have faded in significance if it weren't "endorsed" by capitalism"?

The canonical American nuclear family unit doesn't even include multi-generational housing.
