So you're saying he forgot to account for the human nature of judging things you haven't seen/read/experienced?

You know that humans lived in communal societies for a long fuckin time before all the bullshit we know today, right?

Human nature is not greed. That's capitalism.

[-] Stitch0815@feddit.org 46 points 5 days ago

Pretty sure humans have been bashing in each others heads over resources since the dawn of humanity.

Capitalism made it worse and more efficient tho.

[-] turdas@suppo.fi 55 points 5 days ago

Half the problem with capitalism is that we aren't allowed to bash in the heads of the people who took all the resources.

Yeah of course, this meme is meant to be making fun of the idea that "human nature" (whatever that may be lol) in any way disproves communist or anticapitalist theory

Human nature on its deathbed when it realizes it forgot to account for Karl Marx

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 67 points 5 days ago

Observing humans in capitalism and assuming greed is just human nature is like observing humans on the Titanic and assuming drowning is human nature.

Liberal doomerism based on imaginary restrictions, how new.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 27 points 4 days ago

it's not just imaginary, humans thrived of mutual cooperation for tens of thousands of years while capitalism has only existed for a few hundred, but somehow that it's became the default position of everyone.

Capitalism doesn't work, and it's for the same reason.

[-] redti@lemmy.zip 32 points 5 days ago

Marx didn't forgot such thing he refuted it. No such thing as " human nature "

It's in Human Nature to be violent, which I why I've made sure to arm my kindergarten class with knives. Because otherwise I would not be accounting for Human Nature.

(note: this is sarcastic, I did not arm a kindergarten class with knives)

Even if you assume human nature is greed, it's also human nature to have their babies eaten by wolves but I don't see anyone suggesting we should center our society on baby tossin' wolf pits.

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Killing people who don't worship the same Gods as you, taking slaves from the neighboring city state, and having a harem of ~~sex slaves~~ "wives" are all "human nature" that have all been done since before we had the technology to record them all the way up to today. Should those be tolerated in modern society too? Hell no.

It used to be human nature. Nowadays it's nothing more than social engineering that teaches us what is up is down and what isn't, is.
