I agree with 99% of what you wrote, but not on this point.
But greed is probably like altruism, sadism or schizophrenia. All these characters are natural and are more or less important according to the individual.
Then you have cultural greed and pathological greed.
You can fight the first by altruism, the second by medical treatment.
The main problem is that some pathological human characters are difficult to be observed and to be treated.
That's probably why we are runned by masked psychopaths or narcissistic people and we follow them like sheeps, because they know how to manipulate the majority.

I totally agree with you. That's probably one of the most dangerous ideologies. Probably more dangerous than capitalism itself.
Sadly it seems it was the way that the generations of our fathers and grandfathers had to follow and that we have to diverge asap.
Is a good socialism or good communism nothing else as a well regulated capitalism?
