re: #116 reine.de.tout

We all probably could think of one or two examples.

Are you suggesting that, in order to avoid having one child’s mind poisoned by his parents, there should be a general policy ensuring that children are removed from their parents’ influence?

No. But as far as I am aware neither does marxism. It has however been far from an uncommon practice to remove children from their parents for various reasons in an almost industrialized manner in certain countries. In certain cases (USSR, China) for re-education purposes, in other (1930’s Germany) for very nasty reasons and IIRC I think there was some talk about this in Israel in the 50’s as well? (Someone here would probably know, I seem to remember reading an article about it somewhere).

What I mean is that removing children from their parents is not necessarily a “marxist” thing, it happened in certain marxist countries, under certain rulers but not in others.
