I remember in middle school when kids learned about overpopulation and decided we should nuke half the planet, you know, for the greater good.

A tough moral decision, for sure. (For the one in the country with the nukes)

Given how comparatively cheap it would be to eradicate hunger, poverty and illiteracy world-wide, and how rich people generally generate and (don't) spend their wealth, they should absolutely have it expropriated for the good of mankind.

It may be cheap now to eradicate hunger, but what about when the world population is 20 billion? 50 billion? At some point it will stop being cheap to eradicate hunger, and you'll be stuck with 25 billion hungry people instead of 3 billion. So you traded 3 billion people being hungry forever for a few generations of a hunger-free world, followed by 25 billion people being hungry forever.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Friedrich Engels posted:

The implications of this line of thought are that since it is precisely the poor who are the surplus, nothing should be done for them except to make their dying of starvation as easy as possible, and to convince them that it cannot be helped and that there is no other salvation for their whole class than keeping propagation down to the absolute minimum. Or if this proves impossible, then it is after all better to establish a state institution for the painless killing of the children of the poor, such as “Marcus” has suggested, whereby each working-class family would be allowed to have two and a half children, any excess being painlessly killed. Charity is to be considered a crime, since it supports the augmentation of the surplus population. Indeed, it will be very advantageous to declare poverty a crime and to turn poor-houses into prisons, as has already happened in England as a result of the new “liberal” Poor Law. Admittedly it is true that this theory ill conforms with the Bible’s doctrine of the perfection of God and of His creation; but “it is a poor refutation to enlist the Bible against facts.”

Am I to go on any longer elaborating this vile, infamous theory, this hideous blasphemy against nature and mankind? Am I to pursue its consequences any further? Here at last we have the immorality of the economist brought to its highest pitch. What are all the wars and horrors of the monopoly system compared with this theory! And it is just this theory which is the keystone of the liberal system of free trade, whose fall entails the downfall of the entire edifice. For if here competition is proved to be the cause of misery, poverty and crime, who then will still dare to speak up for it?

I like the implication that available food supply is the primary motivator for reproduction in the modern age. Just pump a bunch of food into cities and the population will be out of control in no time, just like in realistic economics simulator Sid Mier's Civilization!

I'm a math nerd so this makes me want to talk about population, the logistic map and chaos

food goes up -> population goes up
population goes up -> food goes down
food goes down -> population goes down
population goes down -> food goes up

etc... chaos theory is fuckin sweet, also I goddamn love the logistic map

but I'm also really lazy so here's someone else explaining it:

Education and some reproductive rights pretty much end any concerns for overpopulation. Like, it's not even funny, give women a choice and heaps of them won't have a huge family.
