My dream mainly consists of actually living a fulfilling life. I want to be able to exist as a respected member of a community of people, with friends, family, a job that I don't hate & which doesn't demand that I sacrifice other parts of my life to it just to achieve basic subsistence, and an ability to develop myself within my pursuits & interests outside of work.

This is made unachievable for a variety of reasons, although at the high-level it's partly a consequence of Capitalistic social & economic structures, it's also in large part a consequence of my own individual social capacities (I have ASD/ADHD). That said, I don't really see my dream being achievable under the kind of society that people on this website would want, because despite their protestations to the contrary, they also actually just prefer the social atomism of modern neoliberal society, they would also just prefer a more robust welfare system to be a part of it. Or at least that's the impression I get from reading posts on here for the last 3 years.

Edit: For clarifications sake; I prefer the Soviet economic model, and I think I could get much closer to what I want with that than what anybody else is offering. I'm making the point though that I don't think that the people here could, or even really would implement that, and I don't think that my dreams are compatible with the social mores that everyone else here seems dead-set on.
