        Just the general dislike for capitalism

        plenty of reactionary folks that also dislike capitalism. I honestly don’t see anything leftist about anti-natalism unless you really stretch that definition

          If anything, I see communism as very hopeful for humanity. That seems at odds with anti-natalism.

          Not that I knock the personal choice not to have kids, but that’s all it really is: personal choice. Basically as impactful to the world at large as choosing not to use plastic straws anymore.

            All of humanity is descended from individuals, so your moral relativism of "it’s personal choice’ is literally the first step towards everything bad that has ever happened

              It’s not a moral argument, it is an empirical one. Individual people choosing not to have kids will not solve anything if capitalism, the real source of waste and pollution, is not challenged. Individual people subsisting is not the source of pollution, it is the econmic system.
