This is one of the most simplististic, reductionary arguments against socialism I have read. Anyone who uses the 'human nature' argument shouldn't be taken seriously. Especially with this article's mischaraterization of socialism in the first place. The idea that all of human nature can be boiled down to only the 'selfish' and 'greedy' traits is pretty insulting, and in this case, propagandistic. We really shouldn't continue nurturing the selfishness and greed traits on a mass scale as we currently do. Socialism is never about people working for free or forcing lazy people to work. Its about workers owning the means of production. Giving workers dignity and eliminating the oppresive employer - employee relationship. Slave owners also thought that they were unfairly being "forced" to give up their freedoms of owning people.
