      ab: Additionally, Brown is not the first to suggest a birth strike as a way to disrupt capitalism. From a Feminist-Marxist perspective, Brown argues that an increasing birthrate, by providing an ever-expanding workforce, is a necessary condition for the survival of the ruling group. However, since capitalists need a future labor force, women (or other individuals/collectives) I must i be burdened by children and family responsibilities to produce that future labor force. Brown defines the ruling group as individuals at the zenith of societal hierarchies: the establishment, the capitalist class, the corporate class, the top 1 percent, or the billionaire class (12).
