"we're not a very nice species, are we?"
I'm nott sure what "nice" means in this context, butt I'll agree with you on that statement for purposes of discussion and try to use the word in the context I think you meant it.
We may nott be a 'nice' species, and that very likely is why we are on top of the biological food chain and totally dominate the landforms of the world as the #1 predator.
The 'nice' species didn't make Darwin's cut. They aren't here, we are. Now the Great Asteroid or Whatever Dinosaur Extinction shirley hepped us make it to #1, and the alligators (also a 'not nice' species) made the cut (so far). "Nice" doesn't seem to work very well in most circumstances in our known universe.
Everybody has to eat. Even grasshoppers, butterflies, and the friendly cricket - vegetarians all - have to eat and there is a limited supply of food - so they compete with each other and among themselves for the resources. Every species does. Bacteria and fungi do. Hence penicillin. Plants try to poison animals that want to eat them, or like the Venus Fly Trap, bite back.
Biology is what it is. Be "nice" and you'll be gone.
This is why Marxism, as either a psychological theory, economic theory, or social theory is IMO totally ridiculous. Marx was nott a biologist, and he wasn't even very thoughtful with the knowledge that he had access to. Marxism is as artificial and contrary to the laws of nature and the human mind as almost anything I can envision. It cannot be useful as a psychology theory, because the human mind is nott organized in any way compatible with Marxist tenets. My contention is further that the human mind is incapable of being "programmed" to comport with Marxism. (We can gett into that specifically later, if you wish.)
To me, folks who retain a belief that Marxism is anything butt a different flavor of Scientology or religion are fooling themselves and in deep denial of biology and, in fact, physical reality.
Which is why I am amazed that people, some of whom are well-read and 'educated', cling to the belief that Marxism is somehow useful as anything butt a failed and dustbinned crackpot theory that has been repeated disproven in experiment and is, upon deeper gedanken experimentation, is inherently fatally flawed and doomed to failure in any attempted implementation in humans.
At MOST, Marxism is useful as a negative example.
