I find it interesting. He says he's not too deeply invested in it, but he believes that procreation is inherently "selfish and exploitative" and he is always going to feel judgmental towards those who desire kids and those who have kids. He has no desire to see bodily autonomy actively policed, but he thinks that procreation is unethical and, unless done by accident, inherently comes from an exploitative mentality.

Antinatalism is a subject I've thought about a lot because it's a good subject to engage with if you wanna dissect philosophy just for the sake of dissecting philosophy, I guess, but obviously, antinatalism is not gonna actually have any real-world, material relevance, and even he seems to be aware of this.

That being said, the viewpoint still bugs me a bit. I wonder if I should talk to him to see if he's willing to get why it does not make sense and how it's even counterrevolutionary. Marxism and antinatalism cannot coexist because antinatalism has no place within how Marxism handles dialectics. Like I said, it will forever have no material relevance, and, in the way it typically manifests, sometimes overtly and sometimes covertly, it can come with racist, ableist, and eugenicist implications.

He is self-admittedly a tad bit undereducated on the subject of Marxism, so he is still learning. I wonder if this is a connection I can expect him to make on his own.
