Plato wanted the government to raise your kids. In his famous book, *The Republic*,
he designed a utopian society where the state would arrange all marriages. The goal?
To breed the best citizens. Once born, babies would be taken from their
parents and raised communally by the state. No one would know their biological
family, forcing everyone to view all elders as their parents and the state as
their true family. He even promoted a "Noble Lie" — a myth that people were born of gold,
silver, or bronze to justify their social class. It was all for a "just" society.
