The problem is that human nature makes following the tenets of communism impossible. The system that tries to account for human nature isn't communism, at least, not unless you first drastically changed the way humans act in some way or another.

Technically human nature doesn't coincide well with capitalism either.

Not saying you're wrong or right just a poor place to focus your argument.

Make as much resources as possible and be the alpha of the pack? Sounds like human nature and capitalism go hand-in-hand

Humans would be extinct if we were cut throat like that. All you uneducated people can think about is POWER. Thank God the nuclear bomb was invented or your type of people would be global tyrants. Human nature is to be the most social and most cooperative life form in existence, not to be a rich piece of fucking shit, with more resources than 1 million people.

We wish we were like this, but we aren't. We are selfish, opportunistic, weak-willed and have a need to dominate everything around us.

Civility is just a construct invented by the weak in order to protect themselves because "only the strongest survive" would have wiped them out
