Maybe one of the fundamental differences between a socialist and a capitalist lies in their degree of optimism about human altruism. Socialists tend to be optimistic and believe that humans have the capacity to care for one another and collectively contribute to societal well-being. Capitalists may be more skeptical of human nature, leaning on the idea that self-interest drives societal progress. They often argue that individuals are most motivated to contribute when they stand to personally benefit. The article does shed a good light on humans relationship to the society it leans on and is hopeful of the possibility of a human system that can rely on a army of collective-good workers. May be some day we will see such a system that doesnt discount the inherent competitiveness and survival bias of a individual. |
