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?
Without “new humans”, who will continue the socialist cause? If you’re not having kids and raising them as socialists, capitalists will still be raising generations of future capitalists, and indoctrinating proletarian kids to service capitalism.
As an individual you are free to make your own choices, but for socialism to succeed, socialists have to survive in the first place.
For me it’s for fun.
If you want a kid “for fun” you aren’t old enough to have one :/
You don’t get a kid “for fun”, your kid is not merely something you have to have fun, your kid is their own person and you have to respect that.
