| I have no objection to either incest or polygamy.
Cases of incest are small anyway, unless we are also counting in underage parent/child incest, but the crime there, of abusing a child, is already covered by the law. I would suggest legalising incest but making the above exceptional case a higher penaltied crime.
As for polygamy, who cares how many spouses someone has? Your assuming it's only men who would want multiple wives, women might want more than one husband too. In theory, okay in my head, this would be a better situation for both parties. Men get to have multiple relationships without losing their partner/s. For women, their men will have to compete for their attention, so you won't have the great boyfriend/lousy husband situation. Men often feel that once their married, it's all settled, time to slob out. And also, when people grow apart, as most do, you won't feel trapped into a relationship with someone you no longer like (although you may still love them). And you won't have the problem of starting to hating your partner because you see them 24 hrs a day.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
