How do you succeed in a socialist/fascist state?
Become a high level functionary and don’t say a word to anyone about anything. Stay low enough to avoid most of the purges and murders but get high enough to afford some of the nicer things. How you raise your children is tough. Do you tell them the truth about the system and life and God and risk them betraying you if they turn, or saying something they shouldn’t even if they are loyal and getting you all imprisoned or impoverished, or do you hide the truth and let them be used by the state? Let me know your call on that. Then if there is anywhere to escape to, do that, especially if you have enough valuable information to be paid for it.
Sage advice. Now we have to kill you.
A tough question indeed. Children don’t know how to keep secrets. As a parent, You can’t even allow the kids to know that you have certain items in the house (Cigarettes, guns, info material) because they can be coaxed into telling anyone for any reason.
And keeping a secret from your kids has to be tough. It’s also important that THEY blend into their environment. They stand out, the parents are investigated. So you can’t teach them differently from their indoctrination (Daddy said dear leader is wrong!)
Very tough call.
