I think I get what they’re saying. Basically “What if we collectively sought to bring each other up instead of engaging in competitive individualism?”
Part of the issue for me was how I was reading by in the first part of the sentence. I read it the way you would with ‘time went by, or train went by’
Not quite an aneurysm, just a misplaced comma and some absent quotes.
Translated:
If the whole world went by the “it takes a village to raise a child” theory, and children were raised not by the individual but by the world as a whole, what would the world look like?
That’s why we have the solar system. All the other planets are helping to raise earth.
Fuck that noise. Raise your own damn kids. Seriously your neighbours are not surrogate parents by right of happening to live near you.
I don’t think they’re suggesting the entire world becomes a giant foster home. That’s not really the spirit of this post.
This is what Capitalists actually believe.
You what?
