I also think that childhood will be much nicer after the revolution

Because

  1. Those magical, pinterest gorgeous, birthdays will be available to all kids not just the children of the rich,
  2. Years of parental leave for all parents, as honestly increases in efficiency have meant much less labor is needed to produce everything society needs (and wants), so parents will be able to take a biiig chunk of time off to raise their child
  3. Group childcare will mean parents will also be able to take a break as needed.
  4. No kid’ll get bullied because of what clothes or toys they do or don’t have because clothes won’t be status symbols, just personal expression, and the coolest toys will be equally available to all children.
  5. State of the art awesome playgrounds, with a ton of thought and creativity put in because it turns out there are a ton of spare resources when we aren’t giving them all to the ultra rich.
  6. Kickass, results based education (no more getting teenagers up early when they’re not supposed to be up, no more homework which has been shown not to improve learning)
  7. Parents who are never stressed about money will be more loving and patient. 
  8. Single parents won’t have to struggle to make ends meet and will be given as much help and support as they need
  9. No more children of color taken from loving families by racist assholes.
  10. People won’t have to wait till they’re “established” to have kids, so you’ll be able to have them when you still can crawl around on the floor and have plenty of energy (and if you are older society will help you out if you need it)
  11. Children get to focus on developing into being great people instead of effective laborers for capitalist overlords.
  12. Healthy, tasty food available for all children
  13. Vaccinations are mandatory.
  14. Great teachers who are there because they want to be, schools that are beautiful, comfortable and never underfunded
  15. Teenagers will have greater independence and greater safety

I wonder how we’ll handle breast feeding after the revolution?

Like I imagine plenty of people will still feed their babby off their own tiddy, but, like there’ll probably be milk banks for people who can’t breast feed, and people will be able to donate as they would with blood (cause like you produce milk as long as you continue to stimulate milk production by having that milk get used, right?)?

Cause like adopted kids, kids of people who can’t breast feed for any number of reasons and so on deserve the health benefits of breast milk.

So, as wikipedia says, communism is “structured upon the common ownership of the means of production, absence of social classes, money, and the state.“ As I understand further, let’s imagine this kind of situation: there is communism right now, that means I can come to you and take all your clothes off you, because they’re not yours, they’re our. Same with the food. Will children be shared, too?

That’s why communism is stupid and never gonna work.  Do you have anything to add? Do you want to correct me? If so, please, do.

your clothes are not the means of production

your food is not the means of production

like did you even try to understand

I mean children probably would be shared because communal raising. And nuclear families suck. But you don’t own your children anyway

yeah i didnt bother touching that eh, implying you own children is very creepy

communism will steal your gonads

rip

Why did you not tell me this Marx?

I mean like I expect people will usually primarily parent their own children, but child rearing will be much more communal… but yeah kids are family members not property, and are also definitely not the means of production.

Your personal property is very separate from private property.  Personal property is stuff that satisfies one of your personal needs or wants, or as Marx would say has use value for you.  So, your food, your clothes, that picture of a dog on your wall, your sofa, your TV, your books, your living space, and so on, private property would be stuff you own that you don’t have any personal use for but are said to own anyway, for example a house you rent out to someone else, you don’t need that house, if you’re renting it out, presumably you have your own house, and if you’re renting it out it’s not like you use it for vacations or anything, so except for needing money (which you won’t need under communism) you have no reason to want to own that house.  That house should belong to the people who live in it.

Means of production means stuff like gigantic automated looms for making vast amounts of cloth, factories, industrial scale printers, car manufacturing robots, industrial equipment, large farming equipment (enough of which will be produced so that there’ll be plenty to go around to fulfill agricultural needs)
