I would say it is Government Parental Control, the government is your parent 😆
What does this have to do with Marx or communism?
https://www.marxists.org/archive/kollonta/1920/communism-family.htm
In communism there's no space for the concept of family / family unit as there's with the center-right and right-wing ideologies. To communists, or any other extremist regime, children are mostly state property that must be indoctrinated as soon as possible to follow the leadership's mindset otherwise the system wouldn't work.
I can't help but be impressed by how well the fascist propaganda works. They have apparently managed to convince at least some people that communism means that the state will own all children and that families will no longer exist. If they can convince people of something as completely absurd as this, they can convince them of anything.
I can't help but to be impressed how the communist propaganda works. They've apparently managed to brainwash some people so hard that you are now implying that marxists.org is fascist propaganda and also doing what the left does best: ignoring at least half of what someone else said and picking on what you can twist and mangle to your ideologies.
Read that again, very carefully now.
"To communists [...] state property". Ah okey, so you just don't know what communism is. Understood.
Communism is all about state property in all aspects of life. You simply selling people the ideia that everything belongs to everyone (there's no private property) and that everything should be shared when in fact what you're trying to do is to instate an extremist government, very similar to a fascist one, that will take control over everything.
It's good to be communist when you're on top and I'm sure Hitler felt the same. Not so good when you're the working class.
Did you even try to read what you shared?
She's making a lot of good points. I mean, thanks for sharing, I guess. I didn't know who she was
Wait, how come you don't know who Alexandra Kollontai is? I'm not even anything left leaning and I know about her and her works. And yes she does have very good point, as do a lot of communist but still paints an image of communist and family. Here's a good example:
That's fair, yet a few lines bellow:
So you start by saying that the communists don't want to take children away but then proceed to bring up and educate. That's kind of suspicious.
To be fair, that could've even been true at some point. I see that a lot of the communist ideologies only work if seen from the right angle (ironic) and with good intentions, however what are really communist groups and parties nowadays?
Half of those groups got mixed up with the gender/identity bullshit people - those who end up yelling to politicians about children not getting free gender conversion therapy and whatnot. Those communist groups/parties groups/parties that don’t particularly share their views but agree to “bite the bullet” just for the numbers. Numbers are all fun but this will eventually backfire once those same groups lose their true ideology / identity and become associated with those people and lose all their credibility.
