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 !
