Over-population is a myth.
The World Food Crisis, Capitalism and Collectivism.
Originally posted by Lucifer777There are probably "up to" and estimated 30,000 animal species, some of whom have dietary requirements which are far greater than human beings; yet nobody really speaks of the animal over-population problem, because there simply is no problem.
Originally posted by Lucifer777The problem is not over-population but the Capitalist system; millions starve and are impoverished, not because there is not enough food, but because they do not have the capital to buy food; if there is a demand for food but no Capital, then the farmers are not incentivised to grow food.
Especially in the Third World agricultural collectivism is urgently required, where food could be grown as a "public service" and rationed, not as a Capitalist commodity. In Cuba for example, the basic monthly food allowance for a person costs around one US dollar and must be accompanied by a ration card; it is a very simple way of making sure that everyone at least has the basic foodstuffs for survival; the Cubans may not be as obese as the Americans and their supermarkets are not full of junk foods, but they are not hungry.
Of course "collectivism" and feeding the poor is a diabolical and "Satanic" idea to the American Christians and anti-Communists, whose religion is the accumulation of Capital, rampant consumerism, and whose Capital can incentivise farmers in the poorest regions of the earth, where food is in the most demand, to export foodstuffs to fill the supermaket shelves of the most morbidly obese nation on earth. Such is the genocidal morality and selfishness of Capitalism.
If "swords are to be turned to ploughshares," this would of course effect the US economy since half of the world's entire defence budgets of all the nations on earth is spent by the US, and the US is the world's leading arm's exporter, while the USDA pays farmers not to grow food rather than subsidise them; however much of this defence spending is not "defence;" it is imperialistic aggression whose purpose is the demand for global resources, economic imperialism and the debt slavery of imperial colonies.
If the proletariat are to "inherit the earth" it is only likely to happen with the defeat of the militant proponents of the dictatorship of Capitalism and of US military and economic imperialism.

Unfortunately, the science doesn't support your dismissal. If food were distributed to all of the poor we could probably feed the world for the present but without controlling population growth we would rapidly exceed the global carrying capacity. The video you posted suggests that we produce more food on less land, and this is true however this is the result of technology generally frowned upon as these methods lead to soil erosion, and pollutes the water with pesticides. On the other hand, organic farming methods which maintain the fertility of the soil actually requires more land for lower yield.

If only this claim were true, but alas there are scores of news articles detailing overpopulation in the wild and methods of control.
Feral cat overpopulation
Deer overpopulation
Mallard overpopulation
Rabbit overpopulation
Jellyfish overpopulation
Buffalo overpopulation
I thought that with your academic credentials that you would have been familiar with the Tragedy of the Commons, an essay written by Garret Hardin. The problem is that it is not possible to maximize two variables, we can maximize population size or we can maximize quality of life for each person living, we can't do both. The essay is critical of the strategies of capitalist and the communist systems as this grapple with the issue.

The following 25 goals apply to America and the rest of the world, this is pretty much a step by step manual on how the Illuminati conspiracy works, basically explains all the long term plans they had back at the Illuminati’s founding in 1776.
1. All men are more easily inclined towards evil than good.
2. Preach Liberalism
3. Use the idea of freedom to bring about class wars
4. Any and all means should be used to reach the Illuminati Goals as they are justified.
5. The right to lie in force.
6. The power of our resources must remain invisible until the very moment it has gained the strength that no cunning or force can undermine it.
7. Avocation of mob psychology to control the masses.
8. Use alcohol, drugs, corruption and all forms of vice to systematically corrupt the youth of the nation.
9. Seize property by any means
10. Use of slogans such as equity, liberty, fraternity delivered into the mouths of the masses in psychological warfare
11. War should be directed so that the nations on both sides are placed further in debt and peace conferences conducted so that neither combatant obtains territory rights.
12. Members must use their wealth to have candidates chosen and placed in public office who will be obedient to their demands and will be used as pawns in the game by those behind the scenes. Their advisors will have been reared and trained from childhood to rule the affairs of the world.
13. Control the press.
14. Agents will come forward after fermenting traumatic situations and appear to be the saviors of the masses.
15. Create industrial depression and financial panic, unemployment, hunger, shortage of food and use this to control the masses or mob and then use the mob to wipe out all those who stand in the way.
16. Infiltrate into the secret Freemasons to use them for Illuminati purposes.
17. Expound the value of systematic deception, use high sounding slogans and phrases and advocate lavish promises to the masses even though they cannot be kept.
18. Detail plans for resolutions, discuss the art of street fighting which is necessary to bring the population into speedy subjection.
19. Use agents as advisors behind the scenes after wars and use secret diplomacy to gain control.
20. Establish huge monopolies that lean toward world government control.
21. Use high taxes and unfair competition to bring about economic ruin by control of raw materials. Organize agitation among the workers and subsidize their competitors.
22. Build up armaments with Police forces and Soldiers sufficient to protect our needs.
23. Members and leaders of the one world government would be appointed by the directors.
24. Infiltrate into all classes and levels of society and government for the purpose of fooling, bemusing and corrupting the youthful members of society by teaching them theories and principles that we know to be false.
25. National and International laws should be used to destroy civilization and enslave and control the people.
