The state dictates what they will be taught and where. The state dictates where the children will eventually work and how much they will be paid. The state, in reality, owns the children. Yes, bad ideas have bad consequences. The problem is that it often takes more than one generation before we can observe the full outworking of wrong thinking.
Ideas are like seeds.
When a ruler plants the seeds of a new political philosophy, it takes many years until the tree is fully grown and the fruit is ready to be eaten. The quality of the seed can then be judged by the quality of the fruit it has produced. Under this system, we have had little to guide us in what a family is supposed to be except to advance the dialectic-materialism process. Now with these tired old ideas finally exposed as being false, we have even less to guide us. The emerging Chinese family is like a ship without an anchor adrift at the mercy of the wind and waves.
