    The Marxist perspective complicates it, by definition

      There’s more to us than just the material conditions around us. One example: friends, or lack thereof.

      Reducing humanity down to less than what it is, is simplifying it. Even if it’s complicated compared to other perspectives

        Explain to me how friends, or lack thereof, changes “human nature”?

          Humans are social animals. Social isolation can cause long term brain damage. There’s more to it, as you may have guessed. But the person you fundamentally are can be altered by much more than just the material stuff around you

            Good thing we’re not talking about individuals here, but rather the aggregate behavior of humanity.

              Ahh, that was not clear from that post! It makes a lot more sense now

            Absolutely. I’ve been living alone with no friends and no family for 2 years and I am FEELING IT.

              I am sorry to hear that. It sounds like you need to invest some time/energy/money into socializing

                Wow I would not expect that sort of reply from someone on Lemmygrad. You know some people are very very poor, and live in public housing in the 'hood, and are surrounded by liberals? There literally is not one adult my age or any age in the area that wishes to hang out with a communist. I feel like telling you to get bent

                  I’m sorry. That is context I did not know. I genuinely think people deserve to be happy, that includes you. My advice may be terrible, but I hope you figure things out regardless
