    My position is that people are selfish because they’re raised in a society that rewards selfishness. There’s always going to be outliers but that’s the goal of vanguardism: someone needs to steer the ship while the generational change happens. I don’t know if that’s the best path forward but it is a path and might work better with more safeguards against a Stalin or Mao or Pol Pot type but that’s a hard conversation to have when people aren’t willing to to consider any element of communism.
