In one hand it makes you aware of how things function in class-society and even in nature, and help you form an objective analysis.

On the other hand it makes you depressed about the current capitalist state of the world.

revolutionary optimism is literally baked into dialectical materialism: if you look at the state of a thing as being negative, then you focus more on improving it than its currently (and inherently transitory) negative state. if you can't improve it, then you see how you can use the worsening state to later improve it. this certainly is the case for all exploitative class relations, but also applies to just about everything else as well.
