    The declining birth rate is only a threat to the capitalist. Can’t have ever increasing growth if there are fewer victims to fleece.

      Declining birth rates are a challenge under socialists systems also if you have a population skew towards the elderly. If 60% of the population is retired and now heavily utilizing a universal healthcare system, how is that being paid for? Ideally some of their tax income would have been saved for their healthcare needs later in life but that rarely happens.
