The problem is that the state never accomplishes the goal of raising adults as everyone is encouraged to be perpetual children.

This is so obvious in third world countries. The people are kept poor and uneducated. They are given handouts that they don't understand how to use and are not given the education they need to use these gifts. For example, in one election year families in the countrysides were given livestock. Some were given cows, some were given pigs and others were given sheep. Instead of learning how learning how to increase their flocks and herds they butchered the animals for meat and sold off what they personally could not consume.

Another example, in another election they were given propane gas stoves. But they were not given the tank in order to buy the gas to use. Here you must buy an empty tank and take to the outlet where they exchange the new empty tank, for a full used tank. Someone thought this was a good deal. No so much when the used tanks have faulty valves.

The feeling of the politicians is that you can keep people under thumb if you can control everything including how they can handle money. I don't think this is working terribly well here now. People are waking up and don't want to be controlled any longer, but because they have been indoctrinated for so long they don't know how to do anything but fight the violence with violence which is not working well either.

The folks in these countries have a long journey ahead of them. It will take a long time to heal the trauma. Perhaps even generations.
