	~~The point of TS~~ is ~~to break and individual, like you break~~ a ~~horse, to eliminate their drive for~~ [[~~Alignment~~]] ~~and~~ [[~~Connection Appliances~~]]~~. <blockquote>Society, and~~ the ~~family as its psychosocial agent, has to solve a difficult problem: How to break a person~~'s ~~will without his being aware of it? Yet by a complicated process of indoctrination, rewards,punishments,~~ and ~~fitting ideology~~, ~~it solves this task by and large so well that most people believe~~ they are ~~following~~ their own ~~will and are un¬aware that their will itself~~ is ~~conditioned and manipulated~~.<ref ~~name=":0"~~>Erich Fromm, ''To Have or to Be?'' (New York: Harper & Row, 1976), 78.</ref>~~</blockquote>Humans are broken with "physical or mental force,"<ref name=":0" /> but they resist. The resistance can be read by agents of the status quo as neurosis and psychosis.~~		Toxic Socialization is necessary. It is a [[Mechanisms of Reproduction\|Mechanism of Reproduction]]. It helps create generation of compliant, hard working employees for [[The Regime of Accumulation]] by breaking the individual's drive for alignment and connection (self-actualization, becoming who they are). As Fromm says, we have a "tendency to grow in terms of their own nature is common to all living beings. Hence we resist any attempt to prevent our growing in the ways determined by our structure. In order to break this resistance, whether it is conscious or not, physical or mental force is necessary."<ref>Erich Fromm, ''To Have or to Be?'' (New York: Harper & Row, 1976), 78.</ref>

	~~Toxic socialization undermines human potential~~ and ~~undermines and even disables the body's ability~~ to ~~properly~~ [[~~Connect~~]] and ~~contain higher levels of~~ [[~~Consciousness~~]]. ~~The purpose~~ of ~~toxic socialization~~ is to ~~create damaged~~, ~~diminished~~, ~~compliant~~ and ~~easy-to-control individuals willing to sacrifice themselves to [[The System]]~~.		The point of TS is to apply that force and break an individual, like you break a horse, to eliminate their drive for [[Alignment]] and [[Connection]].<blockquote>Society, and the family as its psychosocial agent, has to solve a difficult problem: How to break a person's will without his being aware of it? Yet by a complicated process of indoctrination, rewards,punishments, and fitting ideology, it solves this task by and large so well that most people believe they are following their own will and are unaware that their will itself is conditioned and manipulated.<ref name=":0">Erich Fromm, ''To Have or to Be?''

The resistance can be read by agents of the status quo as neurosis and psychosis.

	Toxic socialization is a colonial/imperial/European socialization process implemented in order to undermine human beings and make them more compliant, malleable, and subservient. A damaged human being is more likely to accept rote, demeaning, and exploitive working conditions found in Capitalist enterprises. A damaged human being is easier to manipulate and control.		Toxic socialization undermines human potential and undermines and even disables the body's ability to properly [[Connect]] and contain higher levels of [[Consciousness]]. The purpose of toxic socialization is to create damaged, diminished, compliant and easy-to-control individuals willing to sacrifice themselves to [[The System]]. <blockquote>What is restricted is the free, spontaneous expression of the infant’s, the child’s, the adolescent’s, and eventually the adult’s will, their thirst for knowledge and truth, their wish for affection. The growing person is forced to give up most of his or her autonomous, genuine desires and interests, and his or her own will, and to adopt a will and desires and feelings that are not autonomous but superimposed by the social patterns of thought and feeling.<ref>>Erich Fromm, ''To Have or to Be?'' (New York: Harper & Row, 1976), 78.</ref> </blockquote>Toxic socialization is a colonial/imperial/European socialization process implemented in order to undermine human beings and make them more compliant, malleable, and subservient.
