If it was human nature to be selfish we wouldn't even reach tribe level of society. "Oh, every other living creature is out to kill me or steal my food, so I should build a society with a bunch of potential killers or thieves just in case I end up out kill and out steal them"
The funniest anti-communist argument is that "it is human nature to be selfish." As though property rights naturally follow from this fact, and ten thousand workers should devote their lives to enrich the one man who owns the factory, because they are…naturally selfish?

"To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough." - Andrew Collier, Marx: A Beginner’s Guide
