      That’s just human nature unfortunately. We like to help one another and hate to see another human being suffering because we know that could be us. But capitalism has conditioned and limited us out of our human nature to help one another, because either there is no profit in helping the poor or destitute, or we lack the means to help.

        That’s such a wide eyed idealistic view of the world. Let’s all come together and sing kumbaya.

        All people throughout history have always tried to just help each other out, right?

          Its a realistic view of humanity, not a realistic view of the world we have allowed the greediest among us to create. You should read The Dawn of Everything A New History of Humanity, it goes extreme in depth to explain just how wrong your nihilistic view in humanity is, cooperation is the norm, what Capitalism has created is the anomaly.

          Depends on the dominant Mode of Production, actually. People are shaped by their environment.
