population growth that clouds prospects for sustaining the international economy
Our global economy really is supported by infinite population growth, huh? I wonder how that's gonna affect the rate of profit when population peaks (it tends to go up, right????)
Right, notice the concern is always the economy, not the well-being and thriving of humanity. I'm definitely not an anti-natalist but the population declining naturally (ideally just people choosing to have fewer kids) is bad for capitalism but neutral to good for most people.
Ending the infinite supply of expendable workers will be very bad for capitalists, but people in general should benefit in the long run, as long as we adjust our mode of production

Yes, that last part is critical of course.
