yes like i said i understand the argument and agree with it outside the context of someone using “human nature” in a comment idk it’s one of my petveeves that libs tend to use to argue that communism is impossible “it’s against human nature!” and i prefer to attack the very idea of human nature itself.
Yeah, I see what you mean, actually. I wasn’t saying “human nature” was immutable, but the person I was replying to was. And you make a good point that I should have attacked that explicitly in my reply, actually. I’ll keep that in mind of next time I run into this (depressingly common) “humans are naturally bad” argument.

You would be correct to do so because Marx himself emphasized that point multiple times
