Karl Marx argued that overpopulation is specific to capitalism. He believed that the capitalist system creates a surplus population that is not needed for production and is therefore marginalized and impoverished. This leads to an increase in poverty and resource depletion, exacerbating the problem of overpopulation. Marx believed that a socialist system would eliminate this problem by providing equal access to resources and eliminating class inequalities.
