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.

(I was reminded of this by the new Libertarian Socialist Rants video which I really disliked tbh, because it just ended up saying "this view of human nature is more correct, and supports my politics", even though it's politics I agree with.)
