I am not currently teaching my children explicit Marxist theory. Mainly because they are 5 and 3. However, my partner and I focus a lot on fostering empathy in our children. We often talk about workers (as in people who make things, not simply people who have invented something) and how all people are in community with one another in some way. Its kinda cool having a small kid say stuff like “I think the worker had the wrong string for this toy.” or “The worker put the best blueberries in this one.” On a recent trip to a major metropolitan our 5-year-old noticed a few tents under a bridge and commented on how fun it’d be to camp in a city. We talked about what being unhoused means and how we think everyone should have a home no matter what. I think the most important part of our conversation was talking about how my partner and I couldn’t have gotten a home without the support of others, like our parents, their parents, the builders, our friends, etc. They don’t have a firm grasp on what exactly money is, so I’m not sure they would have understood how wages impact one’s ability to afford a home. We do make a conscious distinction between “affording” something and “deserving” something, as those are often conflated in capitalist thought.
