      So it's like I said in my other reply; you share similar ideals of child-rearing with the early Soviets?

      I don't have a ready policy solution to hand but I am extremely suspicious of anyone who claims some sort of natural moral right to power over another human being and would push incrementally for any policy solutions in our society that erode such rights

      I'd fight that push tooth and nail. I'm not in favour of a society in which children are all effective wards of the state raised in a context in which their figures of authority hold only extremely tenuous power over them. Children are individuals, but they're not independent.

      I think if you knew how fucking common it was in the community I came from for kids to have their dads beat the shit out of them you might feel differently, but hey, maybe not -- those dads all thought they were good parents too I don't actually care

      You realize that most parents aren't emotionally or physically abusive right? I'm not sure the exact context of where and how you grew up but your anecdotal experience clearly shapes the way you see this issue the same as mine does for me.

      I do not "realize" this, and I think if we were fully honest about the definition of abuse, especially emotional abuse, you'd quite likely get a simple majority of abusive parents looking at the population as a whole

      But even that isn't necessary for my argument You don't have to be an abusive parent to be a BAD parent

      What is a "bad" parent in your view? Could you summarize succinctly what makes a good one?

      A parent who maximizes their child's chance at flourishing by giving the child the maximum capacity for making their own choices and becoming the person they desire to be

      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).

          Yeah I think it's an easy clarification though, given up as quickly as possible means as quickly as is safe and healthy for the kid. The point is no one thinks neglect is good parenting, but plenty of people think that overparenting and stifling independence is.

          A good parent has a responsibility to the adult person who doesn't fully exist yet, and cares for their child-self on their behalf, knowing that whatever lessons or damage imparted now will permanently impact that adult person, for better and for worse.

          It's really not as simple as "giving the child the maximum capacity to make their own choices", or at least, not with a naive understanding of "giving" and "capacity".
