So, many more people are raised right wing which may mean that way more people in the future are going to be right wing.
Idiocracy 2: Electric Boogaloo
I am absolutely not worried about people’s personal choice to have kids or not. I am worried about a how much “antinatalist” rhetoric there is amongst what is considered the left, which is actually just recycled malthusian and neo fascist talking points. I am worried about how many people can’t have kids not because they chose not to, but because they think that they can’t afford children.
The right wing cultists having families of seven kids are a very small minority. Most people with right wing political views simply don’t want to do that. In most western or industrialised societies, people are still having less kids on average, regardless of political views.
they think they can’t afford them
I am pretty sure they don’t just “think” it, but they actually can’t afford them under our current system
Antinatalism should be a ban on sight. It’s completely reactionary trash on par with denying the existence of enbies.
The bourgeoisie will never struggle to have kids, that’s kinda the most significant materialist factor for any kind of difference in birthrates across ideological lines.

not by itself. ideas aren’t inherited genetically. become a schoolteacher if that’s a major concern for you.
whats your problem lmao, why are you asking 20 questions a day
OP should think about something and then the rest of us should play 20 Questions
Nah. People in the imperial core shouldn’t be having kids because they’re more likely to become fascist, and consume too many resources.
Counterpoint: half the people here grew up in CHUD families. Also a lot of children of leftists turn into NeoLib wonks.
I don’t know for sure about the likelihood of chud ideology transmission from one generation to another, but I can personally vouch for coming from a glaringly chud biological family where no one still alive in it is someone that I maintain contact with.
Leftists kids became neoliberal? Is that even possible?
Mayor Pete’s dad was a Marxist scholar who translated Gramsci’s prison notebooks into English.
Who is Mayor Pete?
The US Secretary of Transportation, former mayor of South Bend Indiana, McKinsey ghoul, probable spook, and neoliberal poster child. He is the sticker someone else replied to you with.

A majority of those kids are going to be war fodder, work the shitty jobs no one wants to do or become lefties. Im not really concerned about it.
ideology is not stored in the balls
That would be catastrophic, it would drown in pee
New site header?
Not yet but we’re working on that technology.

Just kidnapped like 16 fascists (babies). Raising them in a shed in the back. Got a VHS player with soviet cartoons in there. I got us covered.
Great site tagline
Fucking god damn it. Actually. Just checked on 'em and one of them snuck in fascist media (COD: Black Ops). My plan has failed. I told them they could only watch Revolutionary Girl Utena blu-rays on that PS3.
Leftoid Praxis v2.0: Breedageddon commences. It’s out only hope, I guess.
Just built a second shed next to the first one where I’ll house the new children and succeed this time.
Thank you for your services, bugman.
Gave up having any sort of personal ethics, mental fortitude, or will against my adversaries. Going full bugmode now.
We can fix them
Nope. For us to win we must get converts. If it’s just 3% more or whatever it makes little difference.
Think of it this way: if you have two kids and a 100% success rate at raising little socialists, you’ve only “replaced” yourself and nothing more. A good organizer will radicalize hundreds of people over their lives and have an effect of creating more organizers that will do the same.
That “good organizer” sounds like a magician to me. I cannot even convert my parents.
It’s only about 2-4 people per year if you start at 20 and organize for 50 years. This is very achievable if you put yourself in scenarios to meet people that are “almost there”. People that like unions, marginalized people trying out community organizing, parties/orgs that allow libs and baby leftists in but don’t let them dominate, orgs that table at political rallies and protests (competently), holding events where you invite the community to watch a movie or hear a speaker. Party-building stuff, basically.
Edit: oh and also be ready for emergency mobilization and recruitment. Never be caught off-guard when something like George Floyd’s murder happens. Libs will take over and sheepdog if you don’t (intelligently) insert yourself and work with your coalitions. This means being part of coalitions before the big events hit.
Oh, comrade, don’t count yourself out for that. My parents are too far gone for me to bother with, but they’re in their 60’s (I would say “retirement age” but lol, not happening in
).You have to triage your efforts:
- Firm Supporters
- Soft Supporters
- Soft Opposition
- Firm Opposition
Focusing on moving people up this ladder is what keeps me going. If I can take some radlib off the sidelines, make them active agitators, and bring them into the Firm Supporters category, that’s a win. If I can convert a hardline liberal/conservative to being on the sidelines instead of actively opposing us, that’s a win. You have to do what you can with what you have. None of us are perfect organizers, but maybe we can get a little closer to that goal.
An agitator’s job is not to convert but to sow the seeds. Every crack in capitalism is another place to put a seed and “That’s capitalism for you!” is a seed that can be cast every day. Just keep pointing out the contradictions of capitalism and let people convert themselves.
As someone that grew up being groomed to be a right wing christian, no.
I am one of 3 children raised to be right wing christian and 2 of us are tankies and one is a hippy.
Reactionary thought (or ideology generally) isn’t heritable. Most of these people treat their children like shit, and while that doesn’t mean they’ll turn into leftists, it does mean that the children of reactionaries are far from certain to become reactionaries themselves. This is especially true for “normal” chuds, who still want to be participants in mainstream society and politically engaged. Mennonites have a high retention rate in part because they’re disengaged from normal society and they provide a supportive, insular community. Most chuds just treat their kids like shit, and also don’t provide any kind of integrated, supportive community. That’s a (materialist) recipe for losing converts.
New tactic just dropped: Encourage communist party members to marry and procreate with each other to indoctrinate as many of the next generation as possible
