I checked, and you are not joking. OP has made this same thread 3 times now.
OP next week: is communist sperm less potent than the cum of those who regularly attend church and vote for republicans?
I like to imagine they are a leftist urging to have kids but trapped living single in East Klansville, Alabama
OP nextest week: Do all breed-kink pornstars have swastikas tattoos or just the ones that I'm a fan of?
Antinatalism isn't a left-wing stance. There may be intersecting factors that affect the likelihood of wanting to have children, but that would take a study to get any usable information about
Fortunately, left-wing worldviews don't require left-wing parenting to develop, so the point is mostly moot
I'll feel much better about bringing a child to this world if I know that they will be safe, educated, and healthy no matter what path they choose in life, not just 'the right one'.
Generally speaking I don't know, personally I'm definitely not against having children.
Just a heads up a child is not an object so you shouldn’t call them “it”, but “they”
That depends on one's familiarity with material conditions. Leftist political thought has more emphasis on class consciousness, material reality and one's own relationship to capital.
The right, or at least the right wing in the US, has a lack of consideration for material conditions. The open disregard for climate change is one such example.
With that lack of understanding about the world, right wing people would be much less careful about having children. Throw in poor sex education, a belief that life begins at conception, the overturn of Roe v Wade, and the 14 words getting louder in the right, they would be the ones having children.
A better question would be, "How does capital benefit from a population having children?"
Children are an easy labor force.
Parents are forced to work more to take care of children, sacrificing more labor rights.
Those adults would direct resources and energy to their children instead of into education, or labor rights.
Because of all of those things, said parents will become so disengaged with politics that they'll believe anything on the news. They'll lack the energy to address the underlying issues and accept surface level politics.
The capitalist solution for anticapitalism is giving more work.
