> This is why when we look at animals in nature, which don’t have capitalism, they’re all getting along, right? Never competing for anything, fighting each other, or battling for mates?

Even if this was true, humans aren't subjective to their base instincts and can adapt and reinvent themselves.

> Being competitive is human nature.

I'm not and I'm human.

> People will always compete for things

Sometimes you want something, but you let others have it when they need it more than you. Otherwise if you always compete for things you are just a little kid.

> This belief that we just need to come up with an alternate economic system that makes everybody stop trying to do trade and then suddenly everyone’s behaviors will change is also a fantasy. Even within a system where everyone is hypothetically taken care of, you would still see competition over prestige, accomplishments, and coveted positions (even if they paid the same).

This is a misunderstanding of what I said. If you read back I never said competition should be tossed out of the window, it's just that caring for the other as it is right now it's not a core value of the economic system. It's just best effort, if we can say that to the eventually charitable billionaire.
