    Im… Not. :)

    Do you become a communist? Seems like most people are born into it.

    Not that there is any real democracy in the west either.

      Communism is a stateless, moneyless and classless society. That hasn’t been achieved anywhere. Therefore, nobody has ever been born into it.

        Yeah thats true. Good point.

        Maybe that would be too good for humans to ever achieve. We have so many impulses to just take more and more.

          Humans just recently in the anthropological history started using money, before we just did favors to each other and expected favors back in return. Most times the return of favors were forgiven because the community relied on each other . Money and property started happening after the agricultural “revolution” and people just started accumulating food and livestock.

          So no, human nature is not greed and communism is possible
