Not American but tbh I'm doing pretty fine, If you are a literate communist who knows how to correctly understand communist theory, you will be a very good capitalist.
Beside my businesses are going pretty fine I'm still an advocate of communism.
Recognize that a lot of what you're suffering from is, well, suffering; that it's part of the human condition and not really specific to one historical epoch, country, or economic system. Sickness, poverty, cruelty, envy, selfishness, domination, and other woes have been with us for much longer than economic or political modernity.
People have been investigating how to alleviate suffering — in the general sense — for a very long time. There are whole philosophical and social movements about it, which have proposed strategies such as —
"Love your neighbor; forgive those who have hurt you. Feed the hungry, heal the sick, comfort the afflicted." (Christianity)
"Avoid killing, stealing, lying, raping, and getting drunk. Seek out wholesome companions. Maybe do some meditation." (Buddhism)
"Pursue a simple life. Try to avoid pain rather than seeking out pleasure. Don't worry about gods or politics." (Epicureanism)
Yeah I'm in Sweden too. Its a lot worse than it used to be. My dad's generation had the best country possible, with great social support, salaries, pensions etc.
Sweden is probably still good compared to other countries but I bet Norway is the best.
