That's not human nature, since there is no abstract human nature! Human beings are social animals, it's all about “social relation!” It's all about conditions of the real material world. The slavery, feudalism or capitalism are not an arbitrary choices of human beings, they are social relations changing with class struggle! Why no powerful person or group wants to enslave, literally enslave, others? because this way, they make more profit! It is all about profit in the capitalism.
- refurb 5y agoI’d say the USSR and other non-capitalist systems completely blows up your theory. They were more than happy to violate human rights in the goal of “the greater good”. Communist systems are actually fantastic examples that it is human nature.
- abbassi 5y agoThere is one small but fundamental problem with your example: USSR was a state capitalism and not a socialist "state". Lenin expected a socialist revolution in Germany while it failed. It failed and freikorps killed Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. For sure you cannot have a socialism in s backward country like Russia. Socialism, in Marxism-Leninism, as a science, is the dialectical negation of capitalism.
- refurb 5y agoAhh the “its not true communism” argument.
