I’m not an anti-natalist nor am I planning to have children, but I am generally interested if there is a good reason to have children.
It is obvious that capitalism makes it hard to raise kids but even without capitalism, is there a good reason to bring new humans to earth?
I don’t know am I caring too much?
I think there’s something to be said about raising kids in a Marxist environment, though. Even if they grow up and have a fundamental disinterest in that sort of thing, you’ve normalized Marxist thought and maybe even warded off some brainwashing from capital. That’s a powerful thing, making even one to three new people who believe Marxism to be normal and logical in the west.
You’re not wrong at all but there’s also the chance your kids turn out like Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg (both their fathers were/are Marxists).
