            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.

    Kids can be eloquent, but that reads like something written like a 50 year old. There is no way she wrote that.

        It just doesn't sound anything said by any kid I have ever met. Kids can be both obtuse and argumentative but they are NEVER confrontational with adults, especially adults with authority like a Principal, in the way that that girl is describing "her experience." It is quite clear that she is being forced to do this by her mother; it is also quite clear that she is 100% abused by her parents if they managed to force her into that performance.

        EDIT: By confrontational I mean in a manner that they assume authority.

      She was probably told "no politics in school" as a polite way of saying "shut the fuck up about the psychotic Q-anon stuff you pick up at home."

    She's gonna be back in the news in like two years for screaming the n-word at a teacher and claiming her right to free speech was being violated.

    This reminds me that the U.S. is poised for an avowed fascist takeover and the left may not have the time or resources to create a viable alternative before that happens.

    All the more reason to join your local org.

      Depends. If she gets mainlined into the Project Veritas grift, there's just too much money in being a shill to ever look back.

      But if the cash dries up for her, suddenly real life catches up with you and it's not fun to be concervative anymore.
