    Because communism counts on the assumption that humans aren’t greedy fucks who are gonna abuse the system anyway they can. A place where everyone is equal? Even the ruling class? Literally impossible

      because you cant have communism while capitalist empires flail about. communism/anarchism pressuposes a system with no leaders or ruling class. this includes the global stage.

      humans look greedy as fuck because most of us live in late stage capitalism. humans are actually unique in our unprecedented ability for empathy and cooperation.
