Sure, let's have the government oversee and control every single little tiny aspect of our lives, so that we have no responsibilites at all. Then it's just all pointless. We become little more than sheep standing around in a field.

Want to know how pointless? Check the suicide rates on this map. Think there's a correlation with socialism and suicide?

I have another interpretation.

Religion.

Places without religion(or the least religion) have the most unhappy people choosing to end their lives.
