We need a portion of the population that wants kids as communist drones to balance it out
Have been singing Rossa Palestina and L'International to both my kids for the past 2 years. My daughter has even begun singing along to it. Also for some reason she enjoys the German version quite a lot, which I don't understand at all but hey
This, but unironically. If you're a first worlder "champagne socialist" who is here for the memes, the bare minimum you can do is raise kids with basic socialist values who are gonna take up the fight after we are gone.
DINK/"child free" is liberalism. Willingly having children is a privilege in most places, but it absolutely should be wielded by those who have it.
he/him ass opinion. Using your body to carry a pregnancy to term has a higher death & complications rate than getting a laparoscopic nephrectomy to donate your kidney to a stranger and save their life. Why aren't you volunteering your body to do that, which is much more undeniably a comradely act than having a kid?
You can have children without biologically reproducing, although these do tend to come with their own ethical baggage.
Also this comment is targeted toward people in the first world with the means and privilege to support a family with relative ease, which implicitly includes the access to modern obsetric and other healthcare. More importantly, see above.
The figures remain the same even with modern obstetric care. Women I speak with are generally scared about going through pregnancy, reasonably.
That's not my experience with other women that I speak with, and I'd like to see a claim that the figures don't change correlated with wealth
They do change, but not enough to escape the comparison with live donor nephrectomy.
