MALTHUSIAN MANIFESTO
Preamble
The world stands on the precipice of catastrophic collapse from an explosion of unchecked population growth. Many nations of good will have taken heed of this threat to all the world and taken the first steps to averting a population apocalypse. Unfortunately, as of yet, not all nations have embraced such heroic steps, and in addition to placing an unfair burden on those brave peoples who have already made the hard choices to save humanity and the earth, the lack of international unity on preventing the massive death and destruction inevitable if the world does not act now has irresponsibly placed the entire globe in peril. We, the members of the international community who have heeded the warning of Thomas Malthus and the Malthusian clubs, now call on all nations to act in defense of the very life of the planet.
Part One - Embrace Measures to Curb Population Growth
Prevent unwanted pregnancies - Legalize all means of preventing unwanted births, including surgical sterilization and medical abortions. Provided education and financial support for use of methods to prevent unwanted pregnancies both before and during pregnancy.
Promote euthanasia - Legalize, provide for, and support the right to die for those who wish to lay down the burden of this life. This shall include those who can not speak for themselves and suffer from the infirmities of this world.
Acceptance of Monophilic relations - Legalize and give equality to those who wish to pursue relationships with those of the same gender as they do no harm to others and these relationship relieve population pressure as they do not bear children.
Embrace child limits - For the foreseeable future, it is necessary to limit families to one child until the population stabilizes at a lower, sustainable global population, at which time to prevent future growth, the number shall be two children per family. It is understood given the risks of reducing the population it may be necessary for those who carry unhealthy traits to not contribute them forward, which may be offset by allowing an extra child for those who carry traits that will enrich the future smaller population, so long as the numbers are balanced so population reduction continues.
Provide punishments that curb unwanted population growth - People who selfishly attempt to break population controls should be subject to abortion and sterilization. Criminals should be subject to sterilization or euthanasia depending on their threat to the people.
Stockpile and ration food supplies - In order to forestall a Malthusian collapse until population controls take effect, food supplies must be strictly conserved by the state and only made available to those adhering to population control principles.
Promote fairness in application of population controls - It is recognized that while drastic measures are necessary to save us all, they could be abused for narrow political and philosophical ends, and therefore it is believed that all nations should embrace democratic institutions to guarantee that such measures are applied in a fair and equitable manner based on the principles of justice and sound scientific principles.
Part Two - Mutual Support for Nations Embracing Population Control
Economic cooperation between nations heeding the Malthusian warning - Nations that have embraced the call to action to reverse dangerous population growth should support each other through promotion of trade and economic support. Those more fortunate nations financially are called upon to provide economic support to their fellow nations who have heeded the call but may be struggling economically. Trade in foodstuffs between Malthusian nations is acceptable though it is recognized that each nation's first responsibility is to secure the food supply for their own citizens, but then should do what they can to help their fellow Malthusian nations.
Scientific cooperation between nations embracing population control - While all innovations in population control should be freely made public for the world, it is recognized that other areas of scientific advancement should also be shared with proper recompense between nations engaged in the struggle to prevent population collapse to uplift the populations of those nations that are sacrificing for the good of the world.
Political and cultural fellowship between Malthusian nations - Brotherhood and felicitous relations should be fostered between all nations fighting to save the future, to provide for the common morale and well-being of the people. Especially valued are expressions of solidarity and actions and works that promote the heroics and sacrifice of the people in their struggle against population collapse.
Military and security aid between all nations adhering to population control principles - We must all stand united against those who would threaten the principles of population control. An attack or threat against one Malthusian nation is a threat to all of us, and must be met with swift, decisive action in the name of justice and our very survival. Similarly, any subversive movements to hinder or reverse the brave population control measures enacted by nations of good will must be thwarted and fellow Malthusian nations should provide any and all aid to threatened fellow nations to eliminate such internal threats to the salvation of mankind. Where Malthusian movements exist within nations that have not yet enacted population control measures all aid and comfort should be supplied to these brave movements to bring their enlightenment to the rule of their nations.
Part Three - Measures Against Recalcitrant Nations Threatening the Planet
Declaration of war by all nations of the Malthusian community against attackers of member nations - While it is hoped that all nations will embrace population controls and the nations that have enacted such measures, the reality is that some nations still stand against the necessity of population control and threaten the international community that has seen this need. By threatening the movement to save the planet, these rogue governments have declared themselves an enemy of all humanity, and we the nations of the Malthusian community declare war against them all.
Nations and peoples threatening the community of Malthusian nations will pay a steep price - Given the high stakes for the world and the sacrifices already being made by the good citizens of the community of Malthusian nations, war against such dangerous leaders and those misguided enough to support their aggression will face the total force of the community of Malthusian nations. We call upon their populations to rise up against such evil leaders, and their militaries to rebel against such dangerous regimes. The territories of such nations are forfeit to the community of Malthusian nations and will be annexed by nations who do abide by population control or replaced by democratic republics with constitutions embracing of population controls as seen fit by the community of Malthusian nations. Those who aid and support such nations can expect no quarter nor mercy from the righteous forces of the nations of the Malthusian community, and those who take up arms against the community of Malthusian nations are duly warned that their lives are forfeit.
A warning to those who stand on the sidelines of history - So-called 'neutral' nations who while not actively hostile to the nations of the Malthusian community but who refuse to adopt population control measures are warned that they are still part of the problem of unchecked population growth that threats to cause the collapse of the world population. The nations of the Malthusian community will no longer trade with such nations, will not export precious foodstuffs to such nations, and will consider the trade of such nations with enemies of the Malthusian community to be legitimate targets of war. All those nations who do not stand with the brave peoples of the Malthusian community stand against us, and will be treated accordingly, until they see the light and join us in fighting the scourge of population explosion.
