Human nature will be what it is. We are sophisticated animals. Animals fornicate and propagate. Watch any nature channel program. Telling animals to quit acting like animals is like asking the sun to quit shining or rain to quit raining.
And capitalism murders millions every day because of hunger problems. I am not a authoritarian leftist by the way I support democracy and a strong welfare state like what Norway does.
There is a big gap in understanding among comments, people either can't follow or misrepresent what is said, watch the video I posted in page 15 to know what he's talking about. It's only 3 min.

Can you even explain in English what your little video was about?
Anthony Sutton was a british economist, not a conspiracy theorist and this is what he said. https://youtu.be/PaFklTLNy8c
I'm going to paraphrased it in simple words because I suspect people won't be able to grasp what he said.
It was Wall Street, Canada, the British and Germany that funded the Bolsheviks revolution. In other words the west financed those marxists to overthrow the tsar of russia, and then helped them consolidate power, first by holding off the japanese, and then by taking the factories from their owners [which led to famine] to have the american banks finance the russian economy. The same support continued until the time of the interview 1987.
The question is: Why did western capitalists support and help bring the communists to power?
Socialism, capitalism, etc. are terms that don't apply to the people in power; it's for politicians and the rest of the public to disagree on. The point is to have two apparent opposite side while they are being controlled by the same group of people. This is easily seen in politics, the public votes every few years thus creating the illusion of democracy, but in reality what is done is not what the public wants but what lobbyists pay for. The business world is just as corrupt. How does it work? On one side you have the "free market" and on the other the "socialists". In reality neither is free nor socialist, but both are controlled through the same corrupt financial system.
The people who are creating money out of nothing, which is what wall street financial institutions have been design to do, are acquiring claims to the real wealth of the rest of the society without producing anything of real value in return. So this become essentially an act of theft of the real resources of the rest of the world and that is this distinction between phantom wealth which is pure money unrelated to the creation of anything of real value versus real wealth...

As far as we know more than 45% of people don’t pay any federal income taxes and are depending on other people’s money to survive.
Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than you do. And yet you side with him.
It’s amazing how many upper middle class people think they are part of the billionaire club.
