The desired result is that everyone will think and believe what the state wants them to. The state will raise them and ensure that the ideas and morals of the state, disseminated through its social institutions, shape these children, thus undermining and subverting parents and the values that they wish to pass on to their children. In their Utopia, parents will only give their children breakfast in the morning and tuck them into bed at night. This same political party also proposes longer and more “fulfilling” school days for children. This legislation is intended to draw women, who are currently more likely to work part-time, away from the family for even longer. In the Netherlands, new legislation has been proposed by a progressive party, under the guise of emancipation, that will see full-time workers earn a bonus. This is also why the progressive Left, under the influence of cultural Marxism, has attacked the family under the pretext of “emancipation” - creating a world where women are free to work for an employer, spend more time away from their families and the home, and leave the raising of children to the school and to the state - if they choose to have children, that is. Therefore, at a time that the very existence of nation-states has come under attack, women, in their domestic sphere, have become the last bastion of the nation and of the family. This is what constitutes and fortifies the very idea of nationhood. Although the members of the nation may not all know one another, they know that they are connected through the larger familial bond of a shared history, a shared language and values, and even shared childhood stories and lullabies. It is embodied by such phrases as mother and father of the nation, sons and daughters of the soil, mother tongue, founding fathers. It is no surprise that the language of nationalism uses the language of the family to portray this larger familial dimension that stands at its foundation. As mothers and homemakers, women pass on the language, stories, traditions, morals and values which constitute the nation - the narratives and mythologies which are the very foundation stones of our societies. They not only physically produce the next generation of citizens, the children that will make up the nation of the future they also bear the nation in a figurative sense.
