3. And, you're right. . .
this type of society would be an exhibit in patriotism and nationalistic pride. That is the *crux* of the argument, no matter how you shake it and it relates back to the idea of family v. village in the rearing of children. Other adults have an active role in the enculturation and socialization of children, not just the parent and even if there were laws prohibiting it, these mentor statuses and roles would still be there and this process would occur. It is the simple biological necessity that humans have to congregate and aid each other.

However, there is a point that needs to be made and a point about those whom you would rid from the face of earth. Captialism is an economic system borne out of the age of Imperialism (even Rome went through this stage at the end of its life). In capitalism, I'm sure you have noticed the inborn scales of power in the world. As Martin Hall writes, in his book Archaeology and the Modern World, that we that have grown in these cultures have a hard time noticing the dominant transcript being used at the time in which history is being made. That being said, we cannot forget this: no matter where captialism has gone, at least historically, the economic system will NEVER run out and those brought up and buying (yes, it is a pun) into the system, must be bred out from the populous that will live in this style government. It is impossible for ardent capitalists to ever reform. (see: Cheney, Dick).
