>Are humans naturally violent and hierarchical or are they naturally cooperative? If the former, please collect your black sun t-shirt, if the latter, please pick up your copy of the Little Red Book.
One of the differences between Marxism and left-wing anarchism (or anarcho-communism) is on this subject of "human nature." So the anarchists tend to say that humans are naturally cooperative but the Marxists are pretty hostile to "human nature" as a concept, or at least see whatever that is as not being fixed or static but something that's constantly changing.

Marx also often doesn't speak of worker vs. capitalist but of individual (that is, human) versus *capital* which takes on "inhuman power." This borders on the supernatural but derives from Marx's critique of religion, like man creates God but then projects his creative powers onto God and becomes submissive to his creation. In capitalism, capital becomes like God, which is in contrast to Bernie-style rhetoric that chalks up to the problem being "corporate greed," which is like more of an outcome or a product rather than the origin of the problem.

That's truth. Anyone who disagrees takes larping for reality.
