We will abolish families, so no

They will be public second relationship units

In the least weird way possible, I would love to be a public uncle lol

Or whatever we’ll call uncles in said society (as long as it’s not late for dinner!)

Public universal uncle

Thank you for clarifying.

I think in my mind, the secret is more important than the second. Lots of men have public second families: blended families, step children, remarriages etc.

I guess a man with a secret first family is called a deadbeat. Which is a whole other discussion about communism and socialized childrearing.
