    Not my analogy, but observing people living under capitalism and then concluding that humans are naturally selfish is like looking at workers in a factory where pollution is poisoning their lungs and then concluding that humans naturally cough a lot.

      What a moronic take, Christian.

      I, with many others, live in a capitalistic country and live a great life with social safety nets. The conclusion comes from empirical data that all former attempts at pure socialism/communism has failed due to human greed and corruption. If I am wrong, then show me so I can learn.

      Do better than trying to ridicule someone just because they disagree with you. Argue in good faith if you want to have a meaningful exhchange.
