    But it is that selfishness that communism can’t control for and that capitalism only dampens the effect of. You need a system that counteracts those selfish tendencies in order to reach lasting stability.

      ‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

      • housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
      • people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
      • there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
      • the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?

        It reserves selfishness for a handful of weirdos, and allows every worker to be selfless.
