Anyone who thinks there exists a "proper" way to raise a child is egomaniacal at best.

South East Europe wrote:So how does a person properly raise a child?


First, you bend down. Then you place your hands under the child's arms, holding firmly to their ribcage. Don't squeeze. Then you straighten up. Lift with your legs, not your back. if you've done it right, the chld should now be three to four feet in the air, depending on your height and the height of the child. At this point they become squirmy, so it's best to put them down again.

There are other methods, but raising them by the neck, one arm, or one leg is not recommended.

A good parent will instill the proper collectivist attitudes in any child from the earliest age of comprehension, teaching them the evils of capitalism. You can wait until they are about 8 or 9 to begin instructing them on the glories of revolutionary communism and how communism is the only possible means to egalitarianism. To teach a child anything else is child abuse.

What makes you believe I don't have or won't have children? It is the duty of the people to provide the next generation to continue the expansion of the revolution.

not that I am aware of. I don't troll. I try and spread the word of communism to those who do not understand the truth. I also do not flame other people because their opinion differs, wrong as that opinion may be. I have read many posts by many here, and I am not accusing you of this, where they resort to name calling and belittlement because their opinion differs.

please explain how I troll?

For one, it tends not to work in any polity much bigger than a small town.

Reverted.

Look up "Spanish Civil War" and "Kibbutz" and you'll see where it has worked - in small towns that do it voluntarily.

The Amish are really nice people and all, but do you really wanna take up that lifestyle?

It might help with my temper, my lackluster musculature, and my waistline, but no more computers wouldn't sit well with me and my Catholicism might not sit well with them.
