There ARE other considerations in play, though it varies from situation to situation. Mostly, marginalized groups tend to look real negatively on it because it will inevitably involve their annihilation.

Like in practice a state run creche is not only just transposing the authority of the family to the State, it's going to inevitably annihilate all marginalized cultures other than the mainstream since so many traditional rituals & practices that transfer culture become impossible

Probably because there's a disconnect in the discussion between 'We're talking about tomorrow/revolutionary work' and 'we're talking about an idyllic future society.' I buy the children's creche thing (helloooo, SMAC) for the far future, but not for today, not from the state.

That's because family isn't something most people engage with rationally much, if at all. I don't think that, as a species, we're wired to think that way. We tend to connect with the idea of family on an emotional level much more than a rational, logical one.

And anything that threatens something we only connect to emotionally, well...the evolved instinct to protect pops out.

That's Plato. And it's literally totalitarian.

Calling Plato "totalitarian" is projecting contemporary political labels onto historical figures.
