"Thanks to their communist leaders, 70% of youngsters believe that they won't ever own property."

- And thanks to those same communist leaders they supported with unlimited immigration, they would be right.

CM.

Treating Communism as a left leaning ideology misses the point. Both Communism and Capitalism have both proved to be built upon the standard of greed and self interest.

(Notice here I don’t seperate Democracy from Capitalism since they are joined at the hip).

And not separating depression from the extended outcome of suicide, legitimises the argument using depression as the natural platform from which to launch suicide, is legitimate.

Suicide is not always related to depression though, often used historically to make a statement eg self immolation of Buddhist monks in Vietnam 1960’s, and Japanese Kamikaze pilots 1940’s to name a couple of exceptions.
But the authors specifically stated connection of depression with leftish leanings of youth is too loose when considering the radical nature of youth and its propensity towards radical action, left or right; also a term to be challenged, since China could not be described as politically left when it is modelling itself on right wing dictators, as with Russia.

Your links are taken as example of a Communist take over. But it’s hardly an illegitimate stand for them when faced with the similar threat of the push by Democracy radicals to act in the same vain.

I think youth is in crisis without a doubt, just to keep on track, but I fail to be convinced its origins are political. But I can admit, the outlet for this crisis is deflected towards radical politics as is usual.

Diver Dan- I see many of the "situations" in the Democrat Party as similar to Communism. So I agree that wokeism is just as bad as communism. For example apparently Hilary Clinton was mentored by Hebrew Trotskyite Saul Alinsky who wrote Rules For Radicals- seemingly a type of communist revolutionary handbook. In a sense the tools that communists use in the contemporary era are different than they used in the 1920's. For example you don't have to use the fear of guns to control people now- you can use the fear of surveillance and doxxing- but both are control by fear.

Mass culture seems to be related to universalism- both communism and free trade-ism are both universal philosophies but free traders are usually more pragmatic. How does 1. national free trade become 2. global free trade become 3. global tyranny? Ans- A lack of walls between traditional social structures. Hebrew founder of psychoanalysis lamented of the dangerous crowd- in contemporary times for example concert crowd surges are managed by grid chain link fences- but some people like the power of the surges.
