"It is certain that even if a socialist community may bring ‘free love,' it can in no way bring free birth."
- Ludwig von Mises
Slandering men, masculinity and monogamy in the name of radical egalitarianism and identity politics is the most effective means of eroding traditional family values and destroying the nuclear family. Destroying families through misandry and polyamory is the most effective means of manipulating women into demanding that the state replace husbands and fathers. This demand for state intervention in families results in the absolute undermining of every conceivable property norm through fractional reserve central banking, taxation and "welfare spending.
But if we believe in property rights, he should have the right of exclusion on any grounds. From the point of view of the state, it is easier to start the attack on property by taking away the right of exclusion from commercial properties. Then the state can gradually invade the last bastion of undisputed private property, the family household.
- Hans-Hermann Hoppe
That's why leftists glorify promiscuity, radical feminism and welfare - to undermine ethics and economics, thereby allowing them to proliferate their dystopic, socialist agenda (the shortcomings of which they invariably blame on the increasingly smaller morsels of freedom that remain in their wake).
Dysgenic Effects of Leftism
Unfortunately, there are other externalities. Eliminating the cost of childbearing for women with low sexual market value through the fractional reserve lending which funds welfare destroys any incentive they may have otherwise had to practice restraint. Productive people with high sexual market value are likewise forced to subsidize the reproduction of less intelligent, less productive people. They subsequently have to forego saving money which otherwise could have been used to pay for their own children. This results in less reproduction among productive, intelligent people and more reproduction among less intelligent, less productive people.
This makes sense. You get more of what you subsidize and less of what you tax. In this case, you get more underachievement or non-achievement, and less productivity and intelligence.
A drop in birth rates among intelligent, productive people relative to the birth rates of less intelligent, less productive people is an indication that intelligent, productive people are on the losing end of a conflict over scarce resources. This redistribution of sexual market value is dygenics, or regressivism. That's why people are getting dumber, lazier and more morally bereft.
In other words, leftists are why the movie Idiocracy is coming true.
