Mostly agree except antinatalism. I'm not gonna yell at anyone for having kids or anything; but I know I'd have been better off not having been born and the world in general is pretty shit, so I can't force that on someone else.
Antinatalism as a personal choice is fine, I'd probably adopt instead of making a new baby myself, my problem and I assume op's problem is with enforced Antinatalism. Also with "antinatalism isn't just a reaction to capitalism it would be true even after socialism is fully established in the whole world and should be the enforced policy of socialist states".
Yes. Something I want to add is I think a lot of people don't want to or feel like they can't satisfyingly have children, and need a justification for it. In times of system failure or collapse or even just general squeeze on the working class, people will stop having kids or have less kids, because of the economic stress. I think a lot of us are feeling that economic stress and logically deciding not I have kids bc we could only offer a life offering less than they would deserve, and look for a justification for it. This was the case for me, when I was an antinatalist. Now that I'm past it, perhaps I am unfair to those who still are. I don't mean any judgment to anyone choosing not to have children, I probably won't, or I'll adopt.
