@fencoul whilst I don’t disagree that this is a nature as-is is incompatible with socialism, I do disagree that human nature is fixed, and if the political, judicial and economic institutions which preserve the current system were changed, “human nature” would change along with them. That doesn’t mean this doesn’t make it more challenging and that the changes wouldn’t tend to revert if not protected, just that the making the changes is against nature, not the change itself.
