You’re pretending that humans are 100% rational actors and not animals who react to our emotions most of the time. Capitalism incentivizes greed and wealth hording. Of course capitalism is bad and leads to people making bad decisions.
People would suddenly stop wanting extra in a pure socialist society? Ending millions of years of ingrained tendencies? Of course they wouldn’t. Some would find a way to take over or take advantage. It’s why we can’t have nice things…I mean it’s why we can’t all have a nice thing.
I agree it’s a great step but I am not sure humans can do it. A few select humans who choose to live that way like a commune maybe but a society like that for everyone I don’t know. I don’t have that much faith in humanity…especially at the moment.

At least socialism doesn’t inherently reward such behavior like capitalism does. Like, isn’t that a good first step? Stop incentivizing sociopathy?

Humans definitely can’t do it if we insist on a system that rewards greed.
