However, communism doesn't work and has a far larger pile of bones next to it than any other system. There's a reason that the Soviets had to build a wall around East Berlin.....it was to stop people fleeing to the capitalist west. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

But such a number must be weighed against the people kept alive or born at all. I'd say that capitalism in one form or another has created civilization as we know it. We know that communism does not make everyone equal and leads to stagnation.

Is it really incomprehensible that people do not understand how babies are made. There is birth control available im sure. Its not my fault that they are stupid and keep having sprogs. Ffs a huge majority of people in capitalist countries understand this and populate in relation to their position financially and socially. Yes there are some that use a baby as a weekly wage but minimal in the bigger picture. So to sum up capitalism helps keep populations down. I think that puts eye20 to bed.

Education and taking people out of poverty leads to less increase in births, not more. There is only one system really out there namely capitalism and it is failing half the world it seems. Why can't capitalism have a human charitable face what is it's purpose but greed.
