Hi everybody--

I found that Humberto's message has many fallacies. As a former citizen of a
socialist society, I agree with Humberto that totalitarian state attempts to
weaken family (like any other groups, communities, and organizations).
However, it does not mean that within its own constrains Soviet family was
less patriarchic than US family. Further, "guilt by association" is not a
very valid argument. For example, Hitler pioneered many great
(state-sponsored) health care programs like fighting against cancer and
tobacco smoking. It does not mean that each time when some organization
wants to promote the same health care causes it means that this organization
is totalitarian or fascist. From the fact that a totalitarian state and
feminism try to weaken patriarchic family does not mean that totalitarian
state is feminine or feminism totalitarian. There was tremendous macho cult
in the Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.

Finally, I found an interesting tacit assumption in Humberto's message. He
seems to assume that somebody should own children: state, father, or mother.
Can children be not a property at all?

What do you think?

Eugene
