It’s mentioned in Sun Tzu’s time too...

To paraphrase, in an interaction with an enemy emissary a representative of a city under siege commented that things were not well, and they “exchange their children and crack their bones for the marrow”.

Exchange of children was done in China during the Great Leap Forward and in Russia in the 1920s and 1930s.

That is what Socialism actually looks like in the real world.
