Division of Labor in Marx

"the division of labor, in which all these contradictions are given, also entails the distribution, and indeed the quantitatively and qualitatively unequal distribution, of labour and its products, in short, property, which already has its germ and first form in the family, where the wife and children are slaves of the man."

"Further, and simultaneously, the division of labour brings about the contradiction between the interest of each individual or each family and the common interest of all individuals who associate with one another; and this common interest exists to be sure not just in the imagination, as a 'universal', but rather first in reality as the mutual dependence of the individuals among whom the labour is divided."
