If it is a feature of capitalism why is it not found in all capitalist systems? Why did it take centuries to come about?
You not willing to see a thing because it doesn't fit in with your narrow and wilfully ignorant world view, doesn't mean it isn't there.
You know nothing about me so your presumptions are at best an indication of poor reasoning.
This isn't happening in all capitalist nations and absolutely happens in non-capitalist cultures. The collapse of communities can happen for many reasons. For the USA, which has traditionally been very religious, I suspect much if it has to do with people not forming communities to replace the religious ones previous generations had.
I get that ML circles tend to lead to an extremely narrow focus and discourage independent thought but you can choose to not be "that guy". As a Marxist you probably shouldn't be calling anyone's world view "ignorant" given the history of Marxism's failures.
This video might explain things better.
Youtube is never a good source for academic discussions. There is no reason to consider the source as having a valid or informed opinion on the issue. Finally, it doesn't address the fact that this happens in other non-capitalist systems and does not happen in all systems.
