I live in Rhode Island, USA. These mass
murder-suicide stories are being reported almost weekly now. The ready
availability of guns and widespread mental illness can be easily
explained by the decaying capitalist social system.
I am a democratic Socialist yet I had no problem reading John Houser's right wing rants with some sympathy. He is evidently a ruined middle class businessman. Even a severely mentally ill person like Houser can still see social rot clearly - even if he or she is dangerously wrongheaded about the " solution ".
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats here represent the ruined middle class or the always oppressed and exploited working class-or the truly hopeless poor people.
Clearly, decaying capitalism breeds mental illness and thousands of crackups. But there are no longer any long term mental hospitals here-except for the very rich. Instead we have PRISON-the disgraceful over crowded American Gulag.
America is a very sick society !
