I kinda disagree with this. There's too many of us in India. We are replaceable wage-slaves - since we are "resources" in high supply, our demand is less. And therefore, capitalists have a justification to pay us shit wages, because "it's the free market". Maybe if some of us were aborted, we'd have had an assurance to quality life, if not economic growth and technology transfer.
That is literally eco-facist rethoric. Stop trying to shift the blame away from capitalism when it's obviously the problem
I just read a few essays on Marx vs Malthus briefly, and it kinda makes sense why this is an eco-fascist, right-wing and pro-euthanasic rhetoric. Although I'm still not sure on how Marx tried to address stabilizing population in a post-communist world - does he equate better condition to cause population rates to drop? Or that a highly-efficient work-force under communism leads to high-employment rates, scientific advancements and possibly newer ways to sustain a huge population?
