Sup commiebro, I'm a layman in economic theory but I wanted to share something about marx's writing that bugs me.

>Communist Manifesto came out in 1848
>Das Kapital came out in 1867
>Darwin's On the Origin of Species came out in 1859

It's rather unlikely that Marx had any knowledge of evolutionary theory when he wrote his more famous papers. The lines between what is natural human behaviour and what are social constructs were much more blurred before the brand new line of research that spawned from Darwin's science.
What I'm implying is: we know, today, that it's perfectly natural for humans to hoard resources and that most of us have very small circles to which we'll extend our favor. Some people care only about themselves, most care only about their close family and friends.
My point is this: capitalism works not because it is the superior theory, but because it is supported by our evolutionary history. My willing to provide the best for my family and I drives me to create newer and better products and services that will indirectly benefit all of mankind. I am simply not capable of caring for so many people as to justify communism. I'm aware that people are starving to death in africa at this very moment, but I've never seen them and don't give a shit about them. My own status is more important to me because all my ancestors cared more about themselves than the animals they couldn't see, and that's what made them survive and evolve.

How does socialist theory deal with that?
