Im interested in how we will protect children and look after thier needs in a socialist society??..I personally think that this is something crucially important to the left.

What do people think?:confused:

Does something make you think that children wouldn't be sufficiently provided for in a Socialist society? If anything I think they would be much more well looked after.

Seriously though: What do you mean? Are you talking about education? Preventing abuse? Playgrounds? The sugar levels of candy? What?

They will be sent to the collective brain-washing camp to harvest their souls so they can't rebel

who knows, but i imagine it would be something more communal than the traditional nuclear family

Lol! Better yet, they will be grown in factories and taken to special nurseries where they will be played communalist messages as they sleep.

Widescale availability of day care and stuff like that for single mothers is an absolute must, but let's not get too big on communal childrearing. Because this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect#Westermarck_effect

Children should have the right to determine their extra-curricular activities. They shouldn't be forced into doing athletic or musical or intellectual extra-curricular activities they do not want to do.

Right but unless you live in a super-isolated village, you're going to meet far more eligible sex partners than you grow up with in your nursery.

Even if there was some sort of huge nursery complex, there's no way you'd know everyone.

No, but it could still be a problem for smaller communities. Like, this was actually a problem for the continued survival of many kibbutzim, since none of the children grew up wanting to start a family with any of the other children, they all went elsewhere to find partners. And once they did, they rarely moved back.

Those two were on my mind at the time
