   Its not that greed is human nature, its absolutely not. The left is correct about this. However due to human agency and variability in humans there will always be *that guy*.

   You know the type. The one who ruins things by being a dick. The capitalists want to use that guy. This is also wrong as theres no way to make that guy happy. He will always want more, until he has it all.

   The left needs ways to keep that guy from having power, and to keep that guy from gaining control of the systems that prevent him from having power.

   Anarchism has to be a deliberately constructed system that prevents power accumulation.

     @Laurelai It is actually that guy the wendigo myths actually warn against, the cannibalism is actually quite secondary, greed was the primary way someone would invite the wendigo spirit into their body.

     The never satisfied always hungry for more wendigo.

     Unfortunately wendigoform (wendigo-like) spirits are the result of a human who was super greedy and can cause quite some problems (I've actually dealt directly with a similar type of spirit or probably same type different name, while practicing witchcraft, and I can tell you they stink and not like a physical odour but a psychic stink).

     Thanks to capitalist propaganda bullshit those kinds of non-corporal beings are becoming more common.
