Humans invented and seem to naturally gravitate to capitalism, it's not some cosmic evil imposed on them. They're still a virus.
Do we naturally gravitate towards capitalism? I'd say we gravitate towards communism on family to tribal scales. Seems like capitalism or its precursor takes hold after one group conquers another and exploitation begins.
The bougieoise and lackeys are a tiny minority compared to the many good humans
Sure, I'm sure its just the bourgeoisie, while you're enjoying your iPhone and Nike shoes
...and lackeys
It would be nice if communism was an emergent behavior of humanity. It's got to be forced from the top down with a vanguard.
I think it is, but the top is enforcing capitalism and reacts to anything that smells like communism.
