The frame on capitalism is classic Kool-Aid. The broader truth is that industrial modernity, regardless of system, generates trauma, and people reach for substances to cope. Others blame capitalism. Alcohol is endemic in communist societies for a reason. (China does not have alcoholics, don't ya know.)

Under socialism or communism, you still had/have factories, railways, 996 culture and regimented time. Trauma from pace of change, regimentation, and accidents still exists. Under socialism or communism, instead of gig work being bad, gig work is good. Patriotic even.

Under socialism or communism, profit is not the motive. It is chemical pacification of undesirable elements.

Under socialism or communism, instead of each generation of pills being marketed as desirable, they would be part of mandatory education as desirable or just given through Directly Observed Therapy.

On and on we can go. There is a direct translation of every point in this author's make-believe reality of capitalism. Also, a very weird, Hollywood picture of the 20th century.
