Zaretsky: Safe Haven

Family are unaware of its spreading ruling class ideology. Instead, proletariat family offers a safe haven from the harsh and exploitative world of capitalism outside in which workers can be private and be themselves.
Eg. the family go on holidays together and give emotional support.
But this is only an illusion. Capitalism still benefits from private activities of the family. For example, family holidays ensure that even when workers are on a break, the bourgeoisie still profit from high expenses of the holiday.
