What are you suggesting? You don’t want children raised by their parents. In effect that reduces “parents” to “breeders.”

No it doesn't, because the bio parents are still people who do more than pump kids out. Jesus.

I know that. But if you have no relationship with your children then you are de facto breeders

No, you're not. If I have a kid who then goes to be reared by the community as a whole, I'm still me. I haven't changed in any way from the current system except that my capacity to hurt the child, knowingly or accidentally, has been diminished.

And everybody else's capacity to hurt the child has been increased.

This bias that when adults form bureaucracies and institutions their actions become depraved and corrupt but when they act as individuals in relationships you can trust their inherently decent nature is very common among Republicans It's the complete opposite of my experience

I only survived my childhood because of institutions and their bureaucratic rules

I am under no illusions that the state, the government, the community, whatever, give a shit about me I've been trampled and fucked with in countless ways by the bureaucrats But none of them has ever come CLOSE to hurting me as bad as individuals I had a real relationship with

That’s true for every human being, the people we let in are those that hurt us the most.
