It’s basically the philosophy that it is wrong to have children. But what is the material cause to this belief, along with other beliefs that antinatalists have? (including efilism, basically the philosophy that all life should end)

    All good comments for now, but let’s go a bit deeper

    The singularity of Marxism in philosophy is to proclaim the age of transformative philosophy over purely interpretative philosophy. Efilism is part of that age of transformative philosophy, it aims at changing the ways of society.

    However it compares very poorly to Marxism is that regard simply because people will continue to have kids anyway. Therefore it’s a utopian negation of reality. It has no praxis, no dialectics, just a singular moral imperative that is dictated by abstract logic and fuelled by individual suffering.

    Therefore the Marxist analysis of these new moral ideas is simply: who tf cares lmao people won’t just stop having kids what are they talking about rofl
