She was on to something. I've had more love and kindness shown to me from complete strangers than my entire family combined, who live to spite me. I keep telling my mom that people are generally good, it's what's got us living in the modern age, it's just that capitalism keeps the good people from sticking together.
Yeah that's my thinking. I think with this part meant more how this system prioritizes different things from what we do. It's a mistake to say capitalism does anything unintentionally, everything that happens helps it. I might be speaking out of my ass since I've no idea how domestic abuse operated under USSR or Cuba but I imagine in countries with a better safety net and resources for people there might be less of it. It would also be dealt with differently I think.
