The global left is telling Japan and South Korea to open their borders to make up for the dearth of babies.
I think socialism always had the intent, from the outset, to cause a depopulation and population replacement.

In the West, quite possibly, but Hitler had breeding farms and Stalin was never short on people either.
My thinking is two-fold:
1) Social Security - people think of it as sufficient to replace kids in old age...until they start approaching old age and realize that there’s more to life than just ‘money’.
2) Women Working in Career-Oriented Jobs - Obviously many women work and have families, a few with relatively large families, but many also ‘put it off’, so as to not have children get in the way of climbing the corporate ladder (so they limit to one, or even zero)...and it doesn’t take many of these women to put a country into population decline.
