It’s more insidious than teaching us to “hate” Marxism. They teach us “oh, it’s lovely in theory but because of that darn human nature that makes all of us so greedy it can never work in practice.”

I remember hearing this line in a video.

Saying it's human nature to be greedy while they live in a capitalist society is like saying it's human nature to drown while they are held under water.

Right!?!?!?

Humans are so greedy by nature so they will ruin that system. So don't fall for it! Now, allow me to introduce you to capitalism.
