I am curious if the majority of leftist people don’t actually want children haha. There doesn’t seem to be any studies about it, but my convos with leftists is that most don’t seem to want to have children either for the uncertainty of the future or because they are too expensive or because it wouldn’t give them too much time to organize or whatever other reason that I forgot about.

I personally lean on not having children because I have been laid off of several jobs and having someone financially dependent to me scares the shit out of me and would put my stress levels through the roof.

    That’s an extremely simplistic and slightly childish interpretation.

    If anything, I despise the voluntary human extinction movement. That doesn’t preclude being smart about having biological children, and it sure as fuck doesn’t stop be from being a communist.

    Having biological children is probably inherently selfish, but that doesn’t make having children an inherently bad or evil thing. That’s my entire point.

      You aren’t a communist as you reject dialectical materialism by upholding an ideological framework that analyzes non-beings on the same level as beings. That’s not materialism but religion.

          Ah yes, anything that you disagree with is “word salad”. What a fantastic way to analyze everything. I’m sure that will lead to correct understandings of the world…

            You’re just projecting and digging yourself a deeper hole, quit your coping and don’t be a douche.

              No clue how any of that is relevant…. I have most certainly been accusing everyone’s answers as being “word salad” because I can’t read a single sentence and I most certainly “coping”. (What about as I’m not positing a position as occupying a different niche or position than it actually does to defend ideological positions that are in contradiction to one another? I’m not so sure but I definitely am doing it as another user on Lemmy said so)

                I literally explained my position and my view multiple times, your strawmanning and refusing to understand isn’t my fault or my problem.
