In some tribal societies, everyone fucks everyone, whatever children are born are born, and since nobody knows who the father is they all care for all of them collectively.

Is it possible this is actually a better model than the nuclear family?

Even if it is, there's never any guarantee that something which works at the scale of a tribe can be transplanted to a nation of millions.

To a limited extent, the school system itself is how we collectively care for the next generation. How far can it be pushed in the direction you ask about?
