I wouldn’t even call that a European default until post-WW2. Children have almost always been raised as part of a community in almost all cultures, including multigeneration households, distant relatives and fellow community members. Daycare dates back to the caves.
In all of those, there’s a kind of kindship involved that does not exist in a state appointed nanny. There’s a huge difference and we can’t pretend there isn’t.
Yeah not really, these terms only confound the reality of things. “Community” is a very hazy term. A city is a community and so is a tribe. However a tribe has close kinship between its members, a city, a state, hell even a big town doesn’t. So no, this isn’t the same as you would call a community caregiver in the context that one would use it when describing a healthy arrangement of the kind.
That assumes a European default where kids are raised in strict family units and not as part of a community.
Community caregivers are normal. The main problem is the fact that they still need to eat under a capitalist system.
