I am absolutely not worried about people’s personal choice to have kids or not. I am worried about a how much “antinatalist” rhetoric there is amongst what is considered the left, which is actually just recycled malthusian and neo fascist talking points. I am worried about how many people can’t have kids not because they chose not to, but because they think that they can’t afford children.
The right wing cultists having families of seven kids are a very small minority. Most people with right wing political views simply don’t want to do that. In most western or industrialised societies, people are still having less kids on average, regardless of political views.
The bourgeoisie will never struggle to have kids, that’s kinda the most significant materialist factor for any kind of difference in birthrates across ideological lines.

I am pretty sure they don’t just “think” it, but they actually can’t afford them under our current system

Antinatalism should be a ban on sight. It’s completely reactionary trash on par with denying the existence of enbies.
