    Nope, the news said China is in big trouble because they have a declining population. Your source is from China and they don’t know as well as USian media!

    China will collapse any day now!

      I was just about to bring up how the Google News algorithm tried to feed me the line about decreasing population multiple successive years, allegedly.

      Not sure about the stats here but you could still have an increase in births with a declining population/birth rate.

    It is always great to hear that the human population is growing. We are able to provide people with food, water and shelter, and we are getting better at it. But there is no room for that in capitalism.

    But we are humans and we can and have drastically influenced our environment and our means. That is what makes us great. We started on the African continent and it didn’t take us long to populate the whole planet.

    Now we have to break the shackles under which a large part of our species suffers. But we will do it, we will fight and we will end this horror. Capitalism is horror without end, and the question today is not socialism or barbarism, but socialism or annihilation.

    However bad the situation may seem now, I am optimistic. Because we are such a great species that I love. There are no gods or spirits, nothing metaphysical has shown up and helped us. We have done it all by ourselves and we will continue to do it, to thrive, to grow and to achieve more and more.

    One day we will achieve communism. As long as humans exist, there is a future for our species. And as long as there are humans, I am happy, and I get happier the more humans there are.
