A utopia can never exist. Even the creator of the concept of utopia, Thomas More, created a world which we would describe as a "dystopia". I believe that reaching perfection is impossible, but we should always strive to create the best society we can. What are your ideas on how to get close to a utopia

Just because Utopia can never exist doesn't mean that you shouldn't have children. Thats like saying "I'll never be perfect, so I quit." If thats your attitude you shouldn't do anything - because you will never be perfect.

I wasn't trying to say that we shouldn't have children because a utopia can never exist. I was simply saying a utopia can never exist, and trying to create one would lead to a dystopia. This is kind of off topic from the original point of the post, but that was all I was saying. We need to improve our current society and ourselves, I'm not disagreeing with you there.

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Re-reading your post it seems you give no opinion on whether or not it is wrong to have children. You just say its an 'interesting thought' and provide a bunch of questions. You might want to give an opinion up there through an edit - it will make discussion easier

You're right. I edited the post and gave a more thorough opinion. I don't think it's wrong to have children if you can afford them

A couple wants kids.
"We want some kids!" - says the couple.
"Great!" -says some orphans. "Well we want some parents!"
'Awww how cute!" -says the couple. "But here's the thing: fuck you. We want an alien looking creature that looks like us. Enjoy your
high recidivism rate. Just know that your life of poverty helped fuel our weird evolutionary impulse to go through an uncomfortable 9 months, an excruciating procedure, and helped bring a new child into the world!... who will then go on to compete with you in the market place with the advantage of a better education.
They will also consume natural resources.
Trust us, it'll be worth it."
I know couples that give birth don't think that way, but if it's possible to overcome the weird birthing impulse we have, we need to fucking do it any chance we get.

I don't think it's wrong to have children because it appears that our purpose is to have children. However, they cannot be guaranteed a perfect happy life. If someone wants children, then they should have them, but only if they can reasonably afford and raise them properly. I believe that people who can't afford to have children shouldn't have any. You're giving them an unnecessary disadvantage and exposing them to more pain than they otherwise would have, if they had better circumstances. I'm not saying we should ban poorer people from having children (such a proposal is a violation of human rights and also impossible), but people should really be more careful when thinking about having children.
