< What's New
The contemporary fertility crisis is essentially an eruption of the inherent contradictions of the capitalist mode of production. Capitalism's survival and development are based on wage labour, requiring a continuous supply of labour. However, capital's inherent pursuit of accumulation drives it to constantly undermine the conditions for the reproduction of labour power. It exploits workers in the production sphere and deprives them of their livelihoods in the consumption sphere, ultimately rendering workers unable to bear the burden of procreation. This constitutes a massive and insurmountable paradox within the system itself.
