  3. Ok, the meaning of what you wanted to know is that North America was the most liberal state at the time, patriarchy is another way of understanding the system of monarchy, it is a political system evolved out of the patriarchal role of clan fathers, and within Christianity it is a hierarchical reflection of the relationship of God to the universe, in other words patriarchy is meant as the imitation of the God of the world by the King's of the world, or the emperor (the Roman emperor being the secular head of the Church, and why the Pope created the Holy Roman Emperor, as well as the centre of much of Europe's political drama prior to the reformation, this is also why Moscow is the Third Rome) if you are getting into the medieval and period Russian conception of the role of monarchy. He means that he rejects the divine mandate of kings, and is willing to accept or even praise the slavery of individuals or people's if it means freedom from patriarchal government in the form of monarchies, this could also be applied to aristocracy, as they are a rug down the same hierarchy. This does not mean that Marx did not like the lifestyle of aristocrats, just that he wanted to make a system in which his logic decided who they would be (his friends and himself no doubt) and without the concepts of responsibility and duty that are inherent to most justifications of aristocratic power and wealth. This is part of the reason why the aristocratic power of the communist elites proved to be so much worse than previous elites towards their population, they have a responsibility to the idea, not the people. You could tease out more, but to a liberal of the period what he said made total sense, even if it would be more than controversial among politically liberal evangelicals and non-conformists (this was the period of the Christian revival, there were tons of 'Christian' socialists), who were very anti-slavery.
