I really dislike most arguments about what constitutes human nature. Not just the capitalist ones, but the leftist ones too. At best it works as an internal model, but it isn't helpful when it comes to arguing/convincing others. Most of us already have a liberal, axiomatic idea of human nature pushed on us, and leftist attempts at changing that come down to "look, this axiom is better", usually with some pretty weak justifications.

In the end it's a pretty ephemeral idea and pinning it down comes off as a waste of time more than anything. You can make "human nature" support any ideology you want depending on the data you choose to accept and what you think benefits that nature the most.
