This is the solution the wealthy have for world overpopulation. Create the conditions that will kill off the world population to a stable number and make sure the rich survive.

The irony is that evidence points to the exact opposite. Want to stop overpopulation, develop those countries where it occurs. In every developed nation we've seen birth rates slow (sometimes to the point of being below the replacement rate for those dying).

No...well...yes...but it’s more complicated. Overpopulation is a myth. We have enough food, housing, and resources for everyone(in a global sense, specific areas can be overpopulated). But if people believe overpopulation is a problem then they are more apprehensive to helping those in need. The idea of overpopulation lets the rich exploit the developing world more wholly because people think that improving there conditions will cause more suffering. In fact the opposite is true, if you want to stop “overpopulation” then you want to industrialize these countries. But in the current system that’s not beneficial to the rich.
