I'm not advocating for eternal growth. But the malthusians claim the population should be smaller without telling you how smaller or how to reach the objective. It's candid ideology that's not very different from eugenics if brought to its logical conclusion. They tell you some will suffer, but they don't tell you who and how. The answer is of course: some poor schmuck that's not them.

And they fail to realize that, even after the population's been reduced, we'd still suffer from the same issues we're facing now because population reduction didn't address the real issue, which is capitalism.
