Humans aren't really built for communism on a large scale either. We are tribal, capitalism gets around that with incentive and greedy individual reward for doing something that generates social improvement at scale (nation-state) level--trade, commerce, interaction, communication. Communism, Marxism will never provide that. You either have to use the carrot (capitalism) or the stick (despotism) at scale to get results. Communism (real communism) fails beyond a few hundred (may only tens) of souls, again we didn't evolve for that,

There are more than two economic systems, and none of them are natural or aligned with humanity's nature. That's something capitalists tell themselves to feel better about the level of exploitation needed to create a 1% class.

So, is exploitation and lying and theft part of our nature? Capitalism only rewards sociopathic behavior. It cannot be prosocial.
