This is conservative propaganda. Human nature is entirely contingent on material conditions. Given a hierarchical system, like capitalism, they will act hierarchically. It isn't rocket science.
You have been told this time and time again, but that's no reason to actually believe it. Think for yourself.
Is it conservative propaganda that has turned every single attempt at communism into a top-heavy, authoritarian hierarchy?
These are my own thoughts based on my personal experience with actual real people. It wasn't derived from some literature. Have you not met people? We lie, steal, cheat, and mentally and physically harm one another before any economic system ever existed.
