Why do you want socialism/communism?

As an autistic person, I want it because I want to feel seen and valued.

For all the liberal bullshit about DEI and etcetera, under capitalism I know in a cultural sense I'm seen as lesser by most people (other than, I would hope, comrades).

It's not even (just) about material conditions. I have a roof over my head and food in my stomach.

I want to live in a world in which I'm valued, for the right reasons - instead of based on my productivity and whether I (can) conform or not. I want a world in which character, rather than infinite, indefinite resource accumulation, is a prioritised value.

But anyway. I'm curious. Why do you want capitalism to end and a socialist/communist world to emerge?

Are there personal reasons, societal/global reasons, both?
