No, I would never advocate going that far, and if it ever came to any public discussion/debate, the clarification that there is no such position would be of critical concern. Anti-family experiment were conducted under the Stalin regime, and they failed miserably because they made people miserable. The family unit is natural to humanity, much if not all of it is analogous to the young-raising instincts of other animals, and much too strong for any crazy ideology to displace. Therefore, removing a child from the care of natural parents should not be taken lightly, but when the benefits of doing this outweigh the damage, then society must be willing to draw the line and remove kids from parents who cause them harm. The role of parents in society is, and probably will always be a necessity, but parents need to understand that society will not tolerate them using their children against the interests of society, and those of the children themselves.
