Shocking!!! ;)
It's good that you actually care about your family. I couldn't help but think as I read your article about that bit in The Republic by Plato where part of his ideal/horror show nightmare society is that family units no longer exist. Children are taken from their parents and raised elsewhere. People are separated into three categories: gold, silver, and bronze souls, and you aren't necessarily what your parents are, so if silver parents give birth to a gold baby, that baby goes to gold people to be raised, and so on. Marriage doesn't exist, men and women have relations for the purpose of procreation but otherwise not. Military people live in barracks with other military folk, artisans with artisans, etc. The point of all this was so that "the state" became the parent, and people had no loyalty to anything or anyone but the state.
Oh, and school is limited to what is useful for that "class" and jingoism is super important.
Sounds eerily like we get closer to this nightmare every day.
