i usually just say ‘nah, .1% of the human population are inherently greedy, the rest are just brainwashed’
2 day old account :suswcc:
is it greed or is it wanting to live a life not in stress? greed is wanting unlimited wealth, private jets, etc. if me wanting to live a life without stress with a garden on my porch is greed i guess im the greediest motherfucker alive, which is an absurd definition
Yea I am conflating greed with self-interest needlessly, you could call greed self-interest which steps on or neglects others, or is mindlessly focused on enjoying yourself (sometimes to the point it goes against your self-interest in the long run)
I mean people live in a world where not being greedy means that they might die of starvation along with their family
them acting greedy when under threat for not acting greedy is not indicative of how people would act while not being threatened
capitalism saying people are like this unprompted is like a cop saying people love getting out of their car and presenting their licenses
im not convinced ‘fighting to survive in a cruel world’ is the definition of greed tbqh
it’s not perfectly self sacrificing and selfless but we are Communists not saints.
we are in fact asking for the world we just also want to share it
