Existing in all systems is not the same as it having nothing to do with political systems - especially political systems that occupy all of daily life, as they do. There is no aspect of urban daily life that is free from the compulsion to use one's time to make money, either to survive or accumulate, and nobody - neither the capitalist nor the worker - is free from that concern.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoWhat political system would avoid mental illness?
- claudeganon 7y agoYou’re continuing to elide both my and the parent’s point not that any political systems are free of mental illness, but that they result in different rates, experiences, and forms of instantiation. This isn’t even contested in the psychological literature. For example, go read about how schizophrenia manifests and is experienced in the developing vs. developed world. Or how depression and rates of suicide increase in the wake of economic crises.
