I don’t think is that comrades think that socialism will given them a harem or anything that incel profess, but that it will give the freedom and capacity to people to have the opportunity to socialize more and by that making deeper connections with other people.
I imagine it would at least making working on yourself feasible, which might be enough. I can't count the number of times I've had to put some kind of self-improvement on the back burner because of the pressing need to focus on becoming more employable. I think having more free time and energy would do wonders for people's personal development.
what kind of self-improvement had to go on the back burner?
Reading theory for starters. For long stretches of time, I just don't have the mental bandwidth. Working, trying to find a new job, etc seem to leave me mentally drained more and more frequently.
Learning new things, developing hobbies, meeting new people. Going to the gym regularly or eating healthier. I have limited time and energy at the best of times.
For a recent example: I opted out of a reading and discussion group I'm really interested in, in favor of reading and learning about writing resumes and doing better in job interviews.
ok, and people are unable to do that legwork under capitalism, but they'd have much better ability to do that legwork if they weren't being destroyed by capitalism.
maybe it won't give you a harem but i'm built different
🙄
We'd need to cure incel type thinking and teach them on how to care for themselves so that they can actually care for women. Seeing women as objects of desire rather than people with their own wants and needs is antithetical to the socialist project. That is not to say that more secure resources will certainly make things easier for everyone.
