In socialist theory, the goal is to force all individuals to have a direct relationship with the state. To the extent you an rely on family, social groups, friends, charities and institutions like churches, you do not need the state's 'help.' They want to 'atomize' all individuals so they must turn to the state. This is why leftists promote anything that is anti-family and destroys the pluralistic nature of American society. Pluralism harms the power of the state. I've seen texts stating all of this when I was a poly sci major in college. What these slick politicians do, is cast this theory in terms of 'helping' people and 'protecting' children from abuse, and 'assisting' parents provide a home, food, values, moral guidance, etc. It's done that way to sell it to naive and unsuspecting people.
If anyone thinks that being raised by the state does not create as many or more monsters than some bad parents have in the past, he/she needs to study the results of our current system of foster care. It's screwed up an entire generation, and has truly atomized individuals. Imagine having no idea of who your family is, extended or otherwise. That's the reality many foster children now face as adults. They feel totally alone, with no one to turn to, but the state. Listen to some adults who were raised as foster children on youtube sometime: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=psychetruth+foster+care




This strikes me as a very superficial analysis. There may be a bewildering variety of reasons why some children end up as wards of the State. They may be orphaned, their parents might be imprisoned, or exhibit other compelling reasons that disqualify them from a fulfilling the parental role (eg drug addiction alcoholism ....) they may be being abused (emotionally, physically or sexually) they might be abandoned by their parents........ The list of reasons why children might end up in the State's custody is pretty much endless.

Nor is it the case that the State actively seeks to seize control of children's lives, riding roughshod over the parents' wishes, as your post seems to imply. Here in Australia, this option of removing children from the family is the last option to be considered or exercised - it only becomes a realistic viable option when all other options have been eliminated. The governing principle is that all possible efforts to keep families together must be made.

It is always sad to see children growing up without the support of a loving stable family. But to suggest that children are being taken away by the State as some kind of socialist conspiracy is beyond absurd. If this suggestion is seriously advanced, it necessarily involves those advancing it cynically exploiting the plight of these poor children to advance their own political agenda. It is a seriously sick, ghastly suggestion.

Who is responsible for children if not their parents? Who do they belong to? The state?

its only ok to own your children if you are strict christian, married heterosexual, middle class working parents.


I am a white, Christian, heterosexual, middle class, working parent. Formerly married. And I do not think that my child is "property" to 'own'. But he is my responsibility to raise, a responsibility that I chose to take on when I decided to have him. Not my neighbors, not my community, not the State. What kind of raising he gets, and what kind of man he grows up as, will depend on the decisions that his father and I make, since he does "belong" to our family. Which none of us owns, we make the decisions for us as members of that family.

Not defacto conclusively correct.

Actually, owning people is not completely outlawed by the 14th amendment.


In law your statement lacks distinction. P/people means 'community'. Would need to say something along the lines of owning a flesh and blood 'man / woman or child'.

In foster care, children belong to people that are not their biological parents. See a pattern here?

On most legal documents regarding children there is the line "Parent/Legal Guardian". What's the 'Legal Guardian' Define as? "A Person that Holds Legal OWNERSHIP of a Child's being and welfare". See a pattern here?

The United States of America has children it owns. Or have you never heard of Juvenile Detention/Prison? See a pattern here?

How about all those messy divorce court battles when children are involved? Who gets to 'Claim Ownership' of the children over the other parent? See a pattern here?



You can fully enslave someone not by owning the physical body but owning the right to limit their actions. Its done all the time between and by D/s couples.

That said the gubmint has been given the authority to enforce laws that are presumed in the name of the 'people', or more likely 'People'. The word people is a derivative of 'community', that said which [P]/[p]eople are we talking about?

Leego language is so much fun!

SO.........if real controls what you can and cannot do by placing you into a certain set of circumstances, the same set of circumstances that would a slave would experience, are you a then functioning as a slave by 'construction' despite real does not 'own' your physical body?



Slavery today, has a very new twist that most people fail to recognize until they get to the point of discussing precisely this topic or studying property rights under the english common law system. (the US)

There's also the belief that human beings have rights, and children are human beings entitled to the same protections for their rights. The children don't belong to the state any more than adults belong to the state. But just as the state has the responsibility to safeguard my rights and your rights, they also have the same responsibility regarding the rights of children.



How many ways do we want to split that ancient hair as well.

the only way I am aware of, in legalese, to describe the physical body is by the use of man/woman/child.

person/people etc are all artificial abstractions [entities] and/or [contrivances] that may or may not be annexed to a living man woman or child.

hu'man means 'color' of man [person] in law color means and abstraction of or for the base. In other words not physical. You cannot touch a person but you can touch a man. Dont look at me its their crazy shit LOL

Its been known for MANY years btw but mostly limited to those who listen to the music :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4pw31njqio (ps: to skip the long musical intro and go directly to the lyrics, they start @ the 1:10 mark)

Think of it like your 'nom de guerre' or pseudonym.

'Technically' it is the entity which is being addressed not the actual flesh and blood, despite the fact the annexed flesh and blood carries the liability.

It's a peculiar thing, though. Kids aren't "property" like a car, or some inanimate thing. But, they are "property" in that the parent (or legal guardian) is the one that had authority over the child. A parent can choose to homeschool rather than send the child to public schools, for instance. Sure, there are rules and requirements made by government, but the manner in how the academic standards are reached are pretty much open to the parent.

Children do have rights, and government is still in the business of protecting a citizen's rights (especially when it's to the government's benefit), so kids aren't slaves to their parents/guardians.




The government is NOT in the business of, nor are the liable to protect your rights despite the wonderful cozy words they use: to con people into granting them the authority to rule. See the deshaney case.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

and the 49% who did not consent? where is their representation, I digress.


If they were in that business you would be a citizen with all costs covered win or lose to dispute measures taken by the gubmint against you or the people despite the form taken. Traffic, housing, property, civil rights. pick their poison.

Here is little something for the 'sniff test':

The irony about all this hand-wringing over socialism is that those who fear socialism the most are mainly the same people who advocate giving even more power to the state and giving the state a virtual blank check to do whatever is necessary to rid the world of this horrible thing called "socialism." It's the essence of McCarthyism right there: All power to the state, crush dissent - just so we can be protected from socialism. McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bush I and II - all extreme anti-socialists while being diehard statists.

It's a very contradictory position to take, and I agree that it's beyond absurd. It's like trying to explain contradictions in the Bible to a staunch Christian. They just never get it.

Oh and btw, as a side note, I forgot to add that I had some great fun with that one discussing it with the state legislative staff attorneys when I as innocently as possible asked the simple question: "If the seat of gubmint is established in the territory wtf is the state"? There is a huge story there when examined carefully under the law.

The responses were priceless!




anyway I dont want to change the gist of the topic, just wanted to share one of my more fun experiences in leego-land with ya'll.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted...."

Why are governments instituted? To secure these rights (the inalienable rights granted to us by Nature's God). While, technically, we may agree that current government (pretty much any level) in the US (let citizens of other countries decided for themselves about their own countries) is no longer in the business of protecting rights. But, the whole reason for government is to secure the rights of the governed.

You hit it on the head Peon. It is a pun on 'belong'. "Belong" implies ownership but also just membership. One can "belong" to a group, a team, a family, or to a church, etc. It does not mean the church 'owns' you. That's why the ad mentioned in this thread by the OP used that term. It's vague. People misinterpret it. These slick operators making such ads know what they are doing. Yes, kids belong to their parents. No, they are not property, just as no human is property, unless of course you are a willing slave who frequents CS looking for an 'owner.'

In Christian families God 'owns' the children and parents are the trustees. The state as always the interlopers.

since you are on the subject of sources, I would like to see your source that any of this is a conspiracy theory, since a conspiracy means they did something illegal, and I would argue its by design, meaning they change or make new statutes or ordinances prior to cramming it down our throats, hence not a conspiracy by definition....but lego by design.

your source please?

Sorry, not going to dig that deep. A remembered item from a history course waaaay back. When the history professor talked about the patriarch of a Roman had a right to sell you off as a slave or have you put to death up until age 35; it kind of stuck with me.

Shades of the Clinton it takes a village. Take the responsibility of parenting a child and give it to government. Government is always right and parents are just wrong.
