Go to sleep for two hours and two pages of thread to come back to. Bah!
I love some of the comments, unless I'm an anthropologist, unless I'm two million years old. Ming, I take you're a creationist then? Mankind's been on this planet for 3 million years. As for the other comments, we have this really fascinating field of study known as ... archeology. Y'all should check it out some time, you learn interesting things like how people didn't always live like you do.
You see, sadly for you, Marxism isn't founded on some ideas in some old krumudgeon's head, like say, Libertarianism is. Marx and Engles actually spent decades studying economics, anthropolgy, archeology, evolution, chemistry, and so. If you look through Engles notes, The Dialectics of Nature, you will see the first exposition on Chaos theory, a theory which didn't even begin to be forumlated by the mainstream scientific community for another hundred years. Many of Marx and Engles writings are standards in sciology, anthropology, and archeology.
So when we commies talk about human nature, and how human societies have evolved, we aren't just talking out of our collective asses. We actually know what we're talking about.
You can talk all about how greed is normal under all conditions, but for the most part pre-civilized society, food was rather plentiful. Greed is meaningless in a society where if you want another apple, all you have to do is pick it. It is not until the development of agricultre that you begin to see hoarding, that's not that long ago in terms of human history, a blink of an eye.
