Nowadays men, especially young men, believe that to be worthy of the love of a woman, giving themselves is not enough. They must have wealthy to offer. For what is a man without wealth?
Now we may argue this is human nature, and that throughout history women have always preferred wealthy man. This may be true or not. But it’s undeniable that capitalism exacerbates this phenomenon. It’s also undeniable that the current economic crisis makes it difficult for the average man to obtain wealth, even for university graduates.
This means that one of the most normal experiences in life: romantic love between equals becomes more and more rare. This is especially true in the international scene, where nationality and race play an important role in wealth and status.
Under communism, if everyone has more or less the same, women will appreciate men for who they are, and not what they have.
