Whether a system is called/labeled sustainable, socialist, democratic or whatever, it needs a balance that is impossible to achieve under capital control. That balance means people with control over their environment, and their own bodies. When women assume control of their own bodies, very, very few allow themselves to become mothers of more than two children.

The notion of a constantly expanding population is the notion of a constantly out of control system. It's only a matter of how soon the environment is destroyed by such, not that too many people will eat everything and bla bla bla. Women will not have control of their bodies as long as people have no control over their social, political and natural environment. Transforming capital dominated material and personal relations to democratic and humane systems is the work that will make all this talk of humans over-indulging (what a hysterical concept in a world where the capital controlling investor crew wastes and consumes at a rate that is homicidal) just what it is....intellectual poo-poo ca-ca.
