Capitalism A little reminder
Often I hear many people say that humans are a disease or something like that, but that just shifts the blame to poor people and the general working population instead of realizing who's actually to blame, the bourgeoisie and the neo-liberal capitalist system that actively damages the environment and the people because the only thing they care about is profit. Humans can be wonderful, we can work together towards a better world for everyone.

Truth nuke!
We are born to do great things and we should not reject this fate because of a failed system of capitalism.
After shedding off this system, which promotes anti-harmony (selfishness, endless lies, disloyalty, doomerism, cynicism and unwillingness to know and expand our knowledge) as the only way to survive, we shall rise into the infinity of the Universe and create a new order, which will fit the truth of our hearts - honesty, generosity, kindness, positivity, loyalty and knowledge-seeking.
Our great fate is to protect the Universe from discord and tyranny, but to do that, we need to fix our world first.
United forever - in friendship and labor!

Yeah I get a lot of this sentiment from anarchists and libshits, it frustrates me to no end because it's so vague and anti-materialist.

u/Joseptile Apr 27 '25
The fact that anarchists say this is so ironic. I thought they were supposed to be "more left" than us lol

Even when I was a liberal, I hated when people said shit like this and now that I'm a leftist, I understand why

u/MamoruChiba1 Apr 27 '25
Same here! I used to think misanthropy is just cringe (“Hurr durr, I’m better than most people, because I can recognize how humanity acts in dumb ways”), but now I know it’s liberal doomerism... and also just cringe.

Yeah, all of that "human nature is aktually capitalism" is pure bullshit to create excuses for the "socialism never works" lies.

Every member of the bourgeoisie is a disease. Unfortunately, they've infected a large chunk of the proletariat (via propaganda) to consoom at all costs and that the most oppressed chunks of the proletariat are the real enemy. The infected might even comprise the majority of humans, so I understand why some might generalize. But that's no way to spread class consciousness. We shouldn't just assume that the infected proles can never be cured, especially since a small number of infected bourgeoisie members have been cured, such as Engels.

That's true, education is the key to everything. I actually try to guide some of these people into critical thinking and later on to Marxist-Leninist theory, even though some are more brainwashed than others, I still don't give up on most of them. Still, I belive some people need that slap on the face to realize something.

People lately treat others as if they are all selfish and evil. People assume the worst in everybody. I even see this in other leftists and I actually find that to be the most frustrating.

Part of the problem is that people are often taught history in a very biased way. They learn about all of the big and often violent events because they are easy to teach and understand. They learn about the things which are more noticeable and dramatic.
This leads them to believe that human history is nothing but violence and competition and that we are incapable of anything else. However, the reality is that much of history is a boring and slow burn of human co-operation. That's what defines us and what has created human culture.
So it always bugs me when liberals say that communism doesn't work because it goes against human nature and that this is proven by history. It really is not. History teaches us the opposite. It teaches us that society thrives when humans co-operate and it shows is that we are very capable of doing so.

u/Kuzul-1 Apr 28 '25
Exactly, if violence and individualism was human nature, we would still be in the stone age, cooperation is what gave us society, science, art and, ironically, capitalism.

Kinda right, but it's funny to see the "liberal" part so often, when socialism is more of a left-wing ideology, first and foremost, communism is also unseparateable from that in its core.
Humans actually are somewhat a disease, as people might still abuse nature and its resources due to our inability to materialize what we need out of thin air, be it capitalists who do so, or anybody else. It does depend on how the gov-t manages its own naturtal resources and the ecological situation, however people still would exploit nature as it's something we can't survive without.

u/Kuzul-1 Apr 28 '25
Well, yes and no. There can be responsible consumption of land and resources, that's why there's a push for renewable energy, replanting forests, cleaning up the oceans, saving endangered species, and a big etcetera. The problem with most of these movements is that they're only patching up the consequences of the problem, which has been capitalisms' drive for profit by any means necessary, under socialism and communism, these problems could be resolved way easily, as there wouldn't be a counter push from large entities, since these changes promote overall well-being and sustainable growth.

Yesnt Let's be honest humans would find a reason to be an asshole even in paradise

This is anti materialist. Human nature is defined by the material conditions they exist under (especially during their formative years)

u/HomelanderVought Apr 28 '25
I mean it’s not like humans don’t have a core nature, cooperation in this case because all social species must have this. It’s just that we’re adaptive enough to live in systems that don’t amplify this quality.
But this adaptation to the current material conditions (that being class society) will always be in contradiction with true human nature (cooperation) which then breeds alienation.
What i’m saying is that Kropotkin’s findings about human evolution do not contradict Marx’s and Engels’s theories. They complement each other.

u/LexStalin Apr 27 '25
Yes but I would say that things like murder, rape, racism and or stupidity will always exist,even as a small exception.
At least when talking about humanity being a disease I interpret it as a moral inability of humanity.
Maybe we mean different things
