I would only disagree that such people are inherently bad. Rather, they are fulfilling the role that the dictates of capitalism requires of their given class.

All people are inherently good, however all people are inherently social beings. Since capitalism is dominated by humans' relations to capital instead of humans' relations to eachother, the social nature of the human species is repressed, and as such people cannot be their true selves under capitalism.

Capitalists would love nothing more than for you to believe that some of them are good and some of them are bad, which is the guiding narrative behind nearly all capitalist propaganda. In reality, they are humans just like ourselves and the system is to blame.

> All people are inherently good

A strong statement. I think it's more likely that most people are inherently ignorant clannish jerks who care to some degree about the fifty or so people they interact with often enough to see as real humans, and largely fail to give much moral consideration one way or another to everyone else except in ways that signal the virtues that gain them social status inside of their close circle. Some people are better or worse than that, and a few people are on the extremes at either end.

I don't think people are cookie-cutter clones of each other, or blank slates at birth either. There's hereditary/genetic components to selfishness, psychopathy, etc. Not every human born will be compatible with a given societal system. Some personalities, whether by evolution or upbringing or personal development, will succeed more in some systems than others.

Our current system favors sociopaths. I'd say they are, as a general rule, overwhelmingly bad.

Who said anything even close to that?

or that?
