In this new objective philosophy utopia, will we see signs above school doorways reading “Thank You Dear Comrade NYCTwister for a Happy Childhood”?

Tommy, responding to you is pointless, since your obvious agenda is to twist anything said, about any topic, into your NaziMuslimBrotherhood fear based nonsense narrative.
So, you take good care, and I hope you get the help you obviously so desperately need.

We wonder will the children at nurseries, orphanages, schools, in festivals be chanting that slogan.
"Thank You Dear Comrade NYCTwister for a Happy Childhood. Thank You Dear Comrade NYCTwister for a Happy Childhood. Thank You Dear Comrade NYCTwister for a Happy Childhood."

The fact that the resident conspiracy theorist equates what I say with socialism, only shows how little he's capable of understanding.
It also shows his desperation, but that's old news.

Man is a cerebral and spiritual being. Cerebral intelligence is used to view things which are objective by their nature objectively. That is, in an analytical cold hearted business-like scientific left minded no nonsense kind of way. The good restaurant does not provide simply objectively good food but food which is also well dressed, corresponding to and satisfying the cerebral and spiritual aspects of the being. The food in Comrade NYCTwisters’ objective restaurant would obviously look like something straight out of the Soviet Union. The dressing of the food does not allow for objective analysis. In the Soviet Union, where the spirit of the people was supressed, the dressing in all its forms was not allowed. All work and no play is how it was in the objective workers’ paradise. In the Soviet Union all places of worshiping the Sprit in in the Sky were closed. That is because one cannot prove, objectively, that the sprit exists and so it was banned.

This below is from Bertrand Russell's book, talking here about what was the Soviet Union in his book "The Impact of Science on Society."
"The life of the victims in this system is unspeakable. The hours are unbearably long, the food only just enough to keep the laborers alive for a year or so, the clothing in an arctic winter so scanty that it would barely suffice in an English summer. Men and women are seized in their homes in the middle of the night- there is no trial, and often no charge is formulated; they disappear and inquiries by their families remain unanswered. After a year or two in Northeast Siberia or on the shores of the White Sea, they died of cold, overwork, and undernourishment. But that causes no concern to the authorities; there are plenty more to come." Note, how purely objective it was there, without a shred of subjectivism in it.

What happened in the Soviet Union is the result of treating morals objectively, as if morals were a science and people were objects.

If one didn't know you better much of what you say can easily be seen in that light. Tommy should know you well enough to know you do not mean it that way.
It is an understandable mistake for a person reading your posts for the first time. Not for a long time reader of your posts.

Unfortunately, he's just being Tommy.
I understand how the words fair and equal can be misconstrued given the current reality, but socialism/communism isn't fair. At best, it's an overreaction. I'd like for one of its advocates to explain how it's fair to those whose ability causes them to have things taken from them. Not to mention why those in need automatically get things given to them. Among other obvious flaws.

If you look at anything or anybody objectively only, then it is essentially impossible to see it as anything more than a mere object. As human beings, we must look in both an objective and subjective way or we would be as unspeakable as Stalin was.

One better not look at stuff too subjectively neither, otherwise, you will start to think nothing is real.
