"Capitalism does not work because people are selfish, and selfish people are incentivized to harm their fellow man by capitalist structures. Under socialism, selfish people will work toward the common good because working toward the common good is the easiest way to earn recognition and status"

"People are selfish, and it is in 99 percent of peoples self interest to overthrow capitalism in order to improve their material conditions"

So you admit then, that in order for socialism to work, people have to overcome their own selfishness first and learn how to cooperate with others?
