          Alright, I’ll bite, how is free medical and education (and importantly taxing industry and the wealthy) “whitewashing fascism”?

            Starting from a premise of “There’s too many humans”, blaming a poorer country for having too many children, then cleaning it up with things palatable to the average NYT reader is exactly how they do it.

              The premise is the premise whether you like it or not, pal. You Tankies have been really weird about this issue ever since China, the largest polluter on earth, announced a reversal of their population policies and started promoting growth.

                Its a fascist premise; Malthus was wrong when he did the same math 200 years ago. Turns out more people can make better use of resources, and the famine he was attributing to population growth and immorality was simply caused by capitalism.
