RE: Capitalism and Mental Health
In summary, you are judging capitalist as evil; no doubt from your perspective as chosen, not as empirically determined truth!!

It’s a scientifically determined truth. Philosophy is a science. Karl Marx was a scientist. He simply he explained the concepts and got terminology in order. The same terminology that centralized political hierarchical matrix is trying to break and assure you that anybody can have equally correct opinion about this matter. You may argue about the matter, but first you have to KNOW what the matter is. And that means you have to read and listen to the both sides.
If you read and listen just one side, you are a victim of propaganda.
Lol!! I have studied both economic policies, both historically and scientifically.
Scientifically, it is only capitalism that give freedom of production to individuals.
Communism dwells on sharing common wealth which is either endowed by nature or produced by few! It is a subtle cannibalism!
This account for its death worldwide!!
Do you see the economic havoc socialism is wreaking in Venezuela?
If you have studied, you have listened just one side — capitalist. Communism is not what they tell you. Read from the source. Read Marx. And don’t mix states that has label “communist” with the theoretical concept of Communism. Otherwise, you could ask yourself how is “communist” China economically destroyed capitalist United States.
And BTW, Venezuela was not a socialist country even under Chavez. It is a private-initiative driven society. They just don’t want to give over their oil to the U.S. capitalists, and therefore they were labeled “socialists”. See Max Blumenthal from The Grayzone project, he was there.
Here, you can compare havoc in capitalist Puerto Rico with “socialist” Venezuela, side by side:
