It was very popular with the mothers. Most women had children and most women had jobs. The creche system they had in place allowed for mother's to be single and support their children as well as themselves easily.
Each big factory had a creche near it and most people were able to leave their kids there while attending work or polytechnic school. They were close enough that you could spend your breaks with your kid and stuff.
So it's not fully "communal child rearing", just an incredibly robust childcare system that offloads the labor of taking care of children to the community to allow mothers to function to their full capacity as both mother and workers.
Then again, childcare systems are a form of communal child rearing. Even elementary school is a form of communal child rearing.
Whenever a materialist talks about "communal child rearing" that's what they're talking about. The utopian socialists like to imagine these weird hypotheticals, but the best solution is going to always just look like really well funded and staffed childcare.
Overtime that might change, but that's not something we can see until conditions change and the norm becomes universal free childcare.
