So there is a loneliness epidemic caused by capitalist alienation. However, I wonder if lack of material conditions also adds to this. I just keep seeing lots of my broke guy friends depressed because they can’t find a partner and it is so hard for them to meet new people. This makes me wonder if their financial situation is the main reason.
It clearly is a collective problem in the west and when socialists are in power and see problems, we want to solve them. A portion of resources dedicated towards training psychologists to improve the interpersonal relationships of everyone would be a massive boon to everyone’s experience of socialism.
