    Regardless of how you chop down this stupid fucking argument they just repeat it. Makes me go mad.

      When someone makes a bullshit idealist argument you respond with a bullshit idealist argument, because they can neither be proved or disproved anyway. Like tell them that communism is human nature because families existed before capitalism and families share their resources or some other nonsensical argument like that. Basically beat them with their own idealism until they have to resort to using materialism

        Except in this case it's actually a good point. Humans evolved as nomadic troop primates. The concept of owning land and accumulated wealth is alien to our biological nature, an artefact of social not evolutionary development.

        I usually go with “people have been murdering forever, yet we don’t promote murder. Why do we promote and reward greed?”
