   “People are evil because of the systems they are in. Actual sociopaths are quite rare.”
   This is a lot of time my argument against the „nature of humankind“ apologizes of capitalism and concrete behavior within Labour exploitation. It is not the nature, it is how these things are designed as interactions and ongoing practices from the micro-,meso- or macro-level. And that’s why the state is not a partner on eye-level

      @syndikalista Agreed. I'm not even sure there is such a thing as "human nature." Our behaviour will always, necessarily, be defined at least in part by our material conditions. To isolate some abstract, "pure" state of nature would be essentially meaningless even if such a thing existed, because it is not connected to the reality of people's lives.
