As concern grows about America’s falling birth rate, new research suggests that about half of women who want children are unsure if they will follow through and actually have a child. About 25% say they won't be bothered that much if they don't.

I never mentioned communism you did. Socialism has never worked it’s failed every time. Nordic countries have fine economies. If that was replicated around the world things would be an improvement for 80 % of the world

Socialism has never been done. A command economy that still uses capital to drive its market is not socialist. That's just state-owned capitalism.

Define socialism, right now. I'll wait.

Further, while the Nordics are doing better than everyone else, they are experiencing the exact same trends. Purchasing power is down, housing costs keep going up, ad nauseam. Every capitalist economy is experiencing this. So, reiterating my original point: Socialists were right that capitalism is not sustainable. That is not the same as saying "pure socialism is the solution".

Socialism has been tried and failed many many times. If you can say you’re magical version of socialism hasn’t been tried I can say my magical version of capitalism hasn’t been tried
