No, nobody argued that the problem with people being parents is the blood relation, and that therefore you could solve the problem by randomly reassigning children from their blood parents to other parents It's the institution of "parents" that's the problem

Every parent thinks they're doing that. It's extremely subjective as to what is required for success, individual happiness and achievement. Why do you think the state will find the magic formula for achieving these nebulous goals?

I don't, I think individual people can only decide these things for themselves That's the whole controversial point here, nobody actually knows what's best for a child but the child

Essentially, a parent who sees the fact that they are a parent as at best a necessary evil, a relationship to be eliminated and escaped as quickly as possible

I think this definition of good parenting elides things you probably think of as obvious, or is in reaction to a particular set of evils while not accounting for a different set (neglect).

This is pretty much how my mom approached things. Definitely got her some quizzical responses and looks from other parents.
