For a socialist perspective on this sure sign of growing middle age
despair I recommend recently published articles on the World Socialist
Web Site ( www.wsws.org/ ) An
anti-dote to this despair -at least as a beginning of a New Beginning-
is the " political revolution " of Bernie Sanders. Class inequality goes
far beyond race in explaining the rising " misery index " in America .
For more than a century much has been written about the " alienation " of the working class -and the often insecure or desperate middle class - under capitalism. This alienation plants the seeds of mental illness in millions of individuals -branded " losers " by a soulless, consumerist capitalist culture of narcissism.
Today at noon in Roger Williams Park, Providence, Bernie Sanders brings his campaign theme of ending unacceptable economic inequality and having a " future to believe in ".
How many Willy Loman types are there in this very depressed state of Rhode Island ? Says Willy's wife in Arthur Millier's classic play " Death of a Salesman " : " attention must be paid to this man ".
No surprise " progressive " writer Arthur Miller was vilified in the McCarthy era by the House Un-American Activities Committee..
