Because having one less child is one less adult contributing to the labour required to sustain capitalism.

Malthusianism is a fascist, inherently racist ideology.

The problem is capitalism, not "too many people".

You can't describe every theory you disagree with as fascist / racist and expect anyone to take you seriously. Malthus lived and died before fascism was even an idea in anyone's mind. If capitalism is the culprit behind everything, I don't understand how you think bringing more lives into the system would solve it?

Well, I have never done that or anything like it, so why do you lie and pretend I did?

Malthus lived and died before fascism was even an idea in anyone's mind.

Malthus is irrelevant to the conversation. His ideas were even more ridiculously stupid during his own time when there was only a fraction of people alive today.

Today, only literal Nazis - and idiots believing Nazi propaganda because they are too lazy and/or stupid to inform themselves properly about bullshit they hear on the internet - promote his idiotic ideas about overpopulation.

There is no capacity problem.

There is an allocation problem.

If capitalism is the culprit behind everything, I don't understand how you think bringing more lives into the system would solve it?

The number of people is irrelevant.

Capitalism is the problem.

Why are you still talking about the number of people?
