      You’re the one who connected falling birth rates to safety nets, childcare and community. I was simply providing evidence that those things don’t necessarily translate to an increase in birth rates as might be expected

            We were tasked with showing how capitalism can cause birth rates to fall and find grotesque means to combat that.

                  What about China and Cuba?

                  You also haven’t drawn a link to how those drops were directly caused by capitalist policies

                    Both are still socialist, so they haven’t had the same economic crisis that going from socialism to capitalism causes.

                    Secondly, they showed quite clearly that the erosure of safety nets and the general unaffordability of life after the introduction of capitalism is what causec birth rates to drop.
