“human nature makes capitalism innevitable, capitalism is just the formal structuring of human self interest” is the shitty contemporary version of the feudal divine right of kings

Imagine, how thoroughly members of feudal society believed that their lords were divinely ordained, that serfdom was an expression of nature’s hierarchy through the chain of being. The idea that anything other than feudalism was possible was unthinkable.

Justifications for the innevitability of capitalism are not different, its just that now instead of god apointing rulers or beings being specifically ordered, we believe in the ultimate authority of the rugged individual and a social order that “human nature” makes inevitable.” 

When you parrot the bourgeois propaganda of “human nature makes capitalism inevitable” you sound every bit as stupid and naive as the monarch who said “you can’t overthrow me, God put my in charge” seconds before the guillotine took off his head.
