It’s the same in communism/socialism except people are prevented from stopping everyone else from stealing their stuff, in the name of the ‘greater good’, and if they try to get more than everyone else get guilt tripped into giving it up under the ‘to everyone what they need, from everyone what they can’.
Which incentivizes pretending you need a ton, and can give nothing. You think being useful at work in Capitalism is bad? Wait until you are accidentally useful in a communist/socialist economy.
There is usually less pretending under capitalism, but people are people, so it all the same stories still play out.
People are shitty, if given the chance and influenced in specific ways. Capitalism or not. We’re dealing with the current bullshit in the west because somehow people bought the line that everyone is a good person - and we totally can’t actually see or do anything if we see someone doing something bad! - and we need to always follow ‘the rules’ even when someone bad clearly isn’t.
Until we find our balls, good luck.
