Familist

Member of the Family of Love religious sect. It was founded by a 16th-century Dutch merchant, Hendrik Niclaes, whose goal was to end religious wrangling and unite all “lovers of truth” in one great Christian fellowship of peace. His largest following was in England, where his works were privately published. Elizabeth I issued a proclamation against the Family of Love in 1580. The sect died out after the restoration of the English monarchy in 1660; some of its members may have joined the Society of Friends.

But, it is arguably a common characteristic of all traditional economic systems to emphasise the role of the household and of familistic groupism, with such a concern often extending beyond the immediate family to broader groups such as clans, or arguably castes as in India, or even a nation as a whole as has been argued for modern (and partly New Traditionalist) Japan (Murakami, 1984).

It is the old patriarchal arrangements, the familistic socialism, cloaked in tradition and religion, which implies that individuals should help their kin, their people.
