    I know that the obvious answer to this question is no, there is not.
    Could there be? History has shown that communism goes corrupt almost instantaneously. I am not looking for a biased overblown response concerning socialism and its fallible ideals; I am just looking for hopefully passive insight.

    No there isn't. And thats why it fails.

    First you need to demonstrate what human nature is, or at least what you think it is before anybody can answer that.

    Families are essentially collectivist after all, and what's more natural than a family?

    Well, would an adopted child be considered natural? Or a test tube baby?

    A family is not equal. In most if not all cases the parents have a lot more benefits within the household than the children.

    Exactly my thoughts.
    There is no such thing as a universal human nature. Socialism is appealing, but not in entirety - certain aspects coincide well while others simply fail.

    I know, I wasn't trying to instill anything, if my implications seemed there, then you are mistaken, I was only trying to see what people thought. It is a fact that no one political application is correct in its entirety.
