I don't think the demographic decline can be attributed to socialist ideas when it you have south Korea and Japan as massive examples.

I agree with the first claim only insofar as the Western left must exert itself to counteract imperialism; otherwise, developing socialist states will stagnate. As for this second claim, I think that is a very accurate claim, as the sharpest demographic crises in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union happened after the collapse of the socialist system. With plummeting birth rates and spikes in male mortality driven by severe economic recessions and the dismantling of public safety nets during the transition to market economies. Granted, many policies didn’t help or even accelerated the issue like the One-Child Policy, Male Mortality Crisis driven by the World Wars, along with Soviet Housing Deficits. But this neglects several counterexamples like in Vietnam, which skyrocketed from roughly 23 million before socialism to more than 70 million in the 1990s before the reforms. Central Asia with Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, which basically doubled their populations in the socialist eras. Tanzania with its population rose from 11 million in 1963 to over 45 million in 2012 which had a lot to do with policies set up by Nyerere’s government. But even China in the early Maoist era until 1979 had explosive growth. Nor would I describe the birth decline in Europe as being due to Marxist tendencies culturally rather just urbanization and education something that socialist societies indeed excelled at but were mostly tailing western models of development. Below-replacement fertility rates are now standard across almost all developed and middle-income nations, regardless of whether they are capitalist, social democratic, or formerly state-socialist.

don't get me wrong but, didn't these demographics decline happen primarily because these socialist policies disappear? not to mention, japan and America never was Marxist and yet they also face decline? i think you're missing some history here

socialism was never inevitable, barbarism is also an option.

Jack :
Birth rates going below the replacement rate are an inevitability with any modern, and just slightly libertarian society. The more educated people are the more they question the previously dogmatic social norm of having kids, and when the society socially and governmentally gives them the freedom to not have kids, they don’t.

Xi described the communist ideal as the "calcium" in a Party member's spine, without which the Party member would suffer the "osteoporosis" of political decay and be unable to stand upright”

Marxism has not influenced the culture of capitalist countries . Current “left wing” of western culture comes from the bourgeoisie trying to appear progresive

“Xi's emphasis on prioritizing ideology has included re-asserting the Party's goal of eventually realizing communism and reprimanding those who dismiss communism as impractical or irrelevant.”

China hasn't been socialist since the reforms started in the 80s. Even before those reforms, Chinese socialism always suffered from nationalism and never had the international point of view that is held by mainstream socialism. As mentioned by Stalin and others at the time.

I like the general take but I think a lack of will to procreate can also be attributed to the material realities of incoming generations. I can't speak for China or other countries, but as a Canadian Gen Z, it feels like every step of my country's socio-economic standard wants to make having a family full of friction, economically and socially.

When did Marx say to become hyper individualist and to stop having children?

There was an error in the graphics; we have a much lower fertility rate in Poland than that 1.39. As of 2025, the figure stood at 1.068, so we are going to be champions at this, haha. A high level of public safety, free healthcare, and free education including higher education, and yet there are no children, nor will there be, even with monetary child benefits.
