This seems like a pretty textbook case of capitalist alienation. As jobs and wages get worse, American men can’t rely on them to back their sense of self and purpose like they used to.

How would we fix this under socialism?

    Bleak stuff. At one point the article mentions that they are a huge number of challenges: lack of jobs, cost of school, lack of transportation, no friends, limited relationships with family. Capitalism is the source of all of these problems. Fixing them under socialism will take a lot of time and effort.
