There once were communes which raised children collectively, and guess what?
Most of these children grew to become the most productive, contributing and respected members of society.
To remove doubt, it was done out of full consent of all of the involved parents, whom lived collective lives themselves.
In a privatized society, a few parents do a fantastic job raising their children, but the vast majority do not, and even the exceptional good few suffer the results.
