my point was it doesn't have to do with population as much as it has to do with capitalistic demand and monopoly/cartel dynamics
more population means more artists and artistry, which means more concerts, but please go ahead and make this about "overpopulation"
if people weren't aware, raising children is used as a political strategy of fascism historically and presently. look up the "quiver full movement"
whereas on the left there are tons of people that refuse to have children, maybe because it's a hell world especially for intentionally marginalized folks (who are of course disproportionately leftists). or maybe they are associating overconsumption and overpopulation propaganda with their individual choices. or maybe they hate the institution of marriage and family and it's state construction too much. idk
but then, there are literally people who hate children?? and they're moreso on the left. okay good luck with hating a defenseless and innocent little being i'm sure that'll bring more unity to our struggle
point is, the right has a concerted strategy on social reproduction. the left does not, and even sabotages it. the working class is alienated from their own determination of social reproduction. this is a key material concern that has divided along class lines through raw numbers.
I feel as leftists we need to be much more accommodating to familial struggle. I don't feel stable to have family either, so to me helping create power to benefit working families is a crucial tactic, regardless if I ever have one myself. we need to be in control of our social reproduction because it's literally an act of survival, and the people who want to end us know that as well.
i mean mckinley jackson his grandson ben harrison, monroe, and teddy all got years to do that at the highest command position of the us colonial state
i meant hes best as a us president bc he achieved nothing as a president. if we were talking about US governors, WH Harrison would definitely be one of the worst
really hard to say who's worse. but prob the best president was WH Harrison because he died a month into office
ancaps and amerikan libertarians are more consistently correct on international concerns than most any other lumpenprole in this country. their conclusions are usually trash, of course.
very good points, yet this seems more like pan-online-ism than pan leftism.
at least for my local area, we are the most active and apparent Marxist party. anarchists get along with us, join our reading groups (sometimes) and actions (frequently) because we actually do things. we rarely discuss anything that isn't about our work, and people choose not to be involved with us rather than demand we change our tactics and education. liberals are afraid of us, they don't interact much, and it's usually them just gathering intel on us when they do. some of them complain that we don't support liberal actions enough, well sorry maybe if you listened to workers instead of this bullshit "they'll come around to us" mentality you'd actually be helping. we had a local radio segment recently, but the more radical component of housing rights was edited out.
