It may seem confusing that capitalism is always pushing for more babies, but at the same time allows starvation and disease.
People are just another resource. Of those educated, healthy, and mobile, they want more. Poor or self-sufficient are worth little to them.
The system is caught in a vise, because birth rates are falling fast in the group of which they want more. This forces them to increase immigration in some areas. But they are careful to make sure the immigrants are abused and kept second class so there is no upward pressure on wages.
The people of Yemen are suffering because the capitalists don't need them. The war in Yemen is mostly about protecting oil shipments.
So we are seeing a massive, preventable, epidemic of cholera.
