Do you believe that polyamorous relationships should receive the same legal recognition and protections as monogamous marriages?

The question of legal recognition for polyamorous relationships cannot be separated from the material base that currently shapes the institution of marriage: the private, nuclear household as the cheapest unit for reproducing and disciplining labor-power under capitalism.  
Marriage law—tax breaks, inheritance, health-care access, immigration sponsorship, next-of-kin rights—exists to stabilize that unit and, by extension, the wage relation itself. Expanding those privileges to multi-partner arrangements merely widens the net of people who can be folded into the same privatized system of caretaking and financial liability, leaving the structural burden on the working class intact.

What we should demand is not the right to have three or four people on a health-insurance policy while millions remain uninsured, but the abolition of employer-tied health care; not the right to leave a condo to six lovers, but social housing guaranteed to every worker; not an extra line on a passport form, but the abolition of the border regime that forces couples (monogamous or not) to marry for papers in the first place.  
As long as basic subsistence is rationed through the marriage certificate, every “inclusive” reform still stratifies the working class between those who can arrange their intimate life to qualify for benefits and those who cannot—single mothers, migrants, the unemployed, the homeless.

Therefore, communist practice today is not to petition the bourgeois state for more inclusive matrimonial categories. It is to build organizations—tenants’ unions, workers’ councils, mutual-aid networks—that collectively meet the material needs presently weaponized to trap people in privatized dependency, and to struggle for a socialized system of childcare, healthcare, and housing that makes the legal form of sexual attachment irrelevant.  
When the material functions now monopolized by marriage are socialized, the “recognition” question dissolves: people will associate, cohabit, and care for one another in whatever constellation they choose, without needing permission or paperwork from a state that will already be in the process of withering away.
