    People would suddenly stop wanting extra in a pure socialist society? Ending millions of years of ingrained tendencies? Of course they wouldn’t. Some would find a way to take over or take advantage. It’s why we can’t have nice things…I mean it’s why we can’t all have a nice thing.

      At least socialism doesn’t inherently reward such behavior like capitalism does. Like, isn’t that a good first step? Stop incentivizing sociopathy?

        I agree it’s a great step but I am not sure humans can do it. A few select humans who choose to live that way like a commune maybe but a society like that for everyone I don’t know. I don’t have that much faith in humanity…especially at the moment.
