Malthusianism is a brainlet unscientific ideology

Was China's one child policy genocide?

If you're talking about 1 child policies then that's something completely different than what is implied by the term "planned population reduction". The thing I don't get about this kind of thing is that it fails to take into account that there are real material conditions that create the outcome of having multiple children, and they are related directly to capitalist development, and are bore out in countless sets of empirical data. The processes by which Capital changes Society through it's propagation naturally reduce population growth, which is in part related to what you're talking about with Migrants. The projected world population is already expected to peak at 10 Billion and then gradually decline. I assume that you don't think these kinds of measures would ever be implemented in the way you're proposing under Capitalism?

Some population reduction in the Capitalist West is happening weather its planned or sompantaneous or a result of social or market forces. I think all play a role. The Wests demographics are only rising through the influx of migrants by assimilating them into "society" they wont be having children either or as many children as they would be having or would have had in the third world.

Yeah 1st generation immigrants tend to have birthrates that are close to those of "native" populations. Ultimately I think that development is the only real force that can actually reduce population growth in the places with high birthrates still in Asia & Africa particularly, because the Capitalist alternative is likely either Genocide or a complete breakdown of Society. I assume you don't consider yourself a Malthusian?

What does "worse diet" mean here?
But no, it wouldn't be popular but neither is any sustainable policy because it goes against the current status quo of maximum consumption. That doesn't mean it isn't necessary for a sustainable society and high basic living standards.

Yep, Marx destroyed this guy over a century ago. We have enough resources to support everyone currently, and a raise in living standards will reduce population growth. What matters most now is creating environmentally friendly methods of production and increasing the productive forces in underdeveloped nations. When we implement communism these things will be relatively easy to achieve.

plant based diet

well there could be many things that can be done in order to sustain ourselves.

I'm sure limiting mass third world immigration will be popular with everyone in the first world once our diets are forcibly alternated

It's not malthusianism but accelerationist antinatalism

It would be very easy to ease doomer-minded liberals or apolitical proles into understanding anticapitalist ideas with antinatalist talking points. For instance, pointing out that when there is a shortage of labor due to a lack of births porky will begin to slash social programs and so on as it will put too much strain on them to care for ageing population without new workers being born. This is already being discussed in bourgeoisie media: "archive.is/wnwHG". Why should the working class have to suffer from yet another obliteration of protections because they refuse to bring more children into a dying world?

"Dying world" leads into my next point. Ecologically minded liberals could easily be radicialized by pointing out that refusing to have children is morally correct is evidenced by the impending environmental crisis and how refusing to have a child, even more so than stopping meat and dairy consumption or buying an electric car, is the number 1 way to personally reduce emissions. From here we could argue that it makes no sense to furnish the ruling class with more workers until we prevent or at least lessen the environmental catastrophe and that the only way to do that is the abolition of the capitalist system. With liberals as well you can strike their fetishization of "personal freedom" by pointing out that the only reason to have a child right now if you don't have the means to raise then in a healthy and happy environment is to please porky with another wageslave and why should you sacrifice the little free time you have in neoliberalism for that?

If a significant portion or the world was brought around to an antinatalist mindset which was tied to an anticapitalist mindset the already dropping birthrates could be accelerated and combined with mass strikes. This would have a one two punch on porky because automation isn't going to develop far enough to replace jobs for another few decades (which is why porky is freaking the fuck out about both low birthrates and nationalist who threaten to limit immigration) and because unemployment is so low right now that if repeated and prolonged work shortages were coupled with a prolonged lack of new workers it would inflict massive economic damage particularly if it follows the next financial crash.

I've heard places in Africa where birth control methods have been made public are having more stable birth rates, does anyone remember this?

But a plant based diet isn't worse than the standard diet. It's just worse than the optimal diet, which no one other than a segment of the bourgeoisie follows anyway and so is irrelevant.
