Kinda like in Brave New World, or The Giver - or, for that matter, in hundreds of orphanages in real life?

This doesn't really work either. Having been loved by an attachment figure (usually a parent) seems to be essential to normal psychosocial development. Without it, kids can't really form bonds or groups. They never learn to trust, and without the ability to trust, they can't work in concert with other people. They end up violent and criminal.

If you tried to do this society-wide, society would collapse. Everybody would simply try to grab what they could and kill everybody else.
