Yes, Malthus was proven wrong not long after publication of his famous book, but malthusianism is still very popular out there because it is the "scientific" theory which speaks to every fascist and racist mind - it provide perfect framework to justify capitalism even in its worst facets, and shift all the blame from that system and its beneficients straight to its victims.

Overpopulation is the neoliberal excuse to kill minorities, that's it.

Yes. The global plutocracy wants us to think the world can support an infinite number of people. It can't. The capitalists want more people for a cheap labor pool, a market, more people to fight the wars they think will be profitable, more people to pay taxes instead of them. Why do you think the rich are supporting forced birth. Why do you think we're running out of everything? Why is the biosphere being destroyed? Why are so many animals going extinct? Too many people. I'm not saying the wealthy aren't making it worse. They are. But still, too many people.

Now I can't change your minds. So death will take the world.
