I fucking hate it when bootlickers act like leftists are being hypocritical when we point out that socialism would work because of human nature but capitalism doesn't work because of human nature.
The difference is that socialism appeals to the good parts of human nature that literally form the backbone of society (altruism, cooperation, empathy, a sense of justice and fairness, etc) whereas capitalism outright incentivizes humanity's worst traits (selfishness, lack of empathy, greediness, ruthlessness, etc).
The thing that's so bad about capitalism is that it outright rewards and encourages being a fucking asshole. It incentivizes a willingness to knowingly cause harm to someone else for the sake of a financial benefit. Every element of our hyper-capitalist society rewards predatory behavior and lack of empathy towards other human beings and the environment itself. And our economic system seeks those ruthless, downright sociopathic people out and rewards them with vast amounts of capital and power.
This is why I call capitalism a death cult. It's so fundamentally broken and against the very nature that created our species in the first place. The reason why homo sapiens is so successful isn't just because of our intelligence and adaptability; our incredibly social nature and willingness to help others, pool resources, and cooperate is also why we became the dominant species on this planet. We desperately need to go back to our roots before it's too late.
