I find it interesting to note the similarities with communist countries and where we find ourselves now in capitalism.
Both systems focus on economic output in practice rather the wellbeing of human beings so they are really two sides of the same coin. Human beings become units of production in both so there is little room to allow for what might be best for mothers and babies, or for families and communities.
They way we as a society treat mothers and babies/children reflects the society we are creating.
For example during the days of the British Empire early separation in the ruling class, especially including boarding schools helped to build the kind of men who would follow orders, go over seas and commit atrocities.
Now we are engaging in parenting practices that lead to building a generation who will be more likely to value their appearance and their social media standing over human relationships, who will tyrannise others with narcissistic demands that we bolster their false selves at all times. It starts with birth practices, then early institutionalised childcare, parents glued to screens when they are with their children, children given devices and even social media at a young age and children being constantly photographed.
