Same could be said for capitalism. If people could stop being such greedy, selfish assholes things would be okay but they can’t help themselves.
Dude, capitalism is all about being greedy and cut throat. It is a system that thrives in the exploitation of people. It is all about maximizing profit and eternal growth. Capitalism brought us colonization and slavery. There is nothing good about capitalism.
My point is that nothing is stopping people from not exploiting other people, they are consciously making that choice out of selfishness and greed. They could be content with what they have but there’s always an incessant need for more. I’m not disagreeing that it’s messed up.
I am begging you liberals to just be familiar with the most basic parts of Marxism
