It is not a
question of blaming ANYONE for being alive or for having children, WHEREVER
they live, east or west, north or south. It is a question of acknowledging
that one of the most baleful, dangerous and menacing legacies of another
century of unimpeded capitalist accumulation, has been an increase of world
population wildly beyond planetary carrying capacity.

Charles: Mark , I follow your lead on this issue, and agree with you.
I think what you describe is not the same as Malthusianism ( and I think you know
that), because Malthus probably claimed to be describing a natural tendency, whereas
you are talking about the trend to catastrophe due to the capitalist regime, not a
necessary natural tendency. But I think you are saying that the nicety of the
difference as to whether it is exactly Malthusian is not so important but to see that
there is a real danger and threat from the "artificial" dynamic capitalist generated
overpopulation.
