Do you believe in the innate benevolence of mankind?

[Inverted Things]

No, people are innately evil. If there's a chance people will do whatever it takes to get themselves ahead and screw other people over.

We have a system in which wealth can be hoarded. As soon as wealth can be hoarded, it will be hoarded by any means necessary. As such, people screw other people over because they get rewarded for it.

The above statement probably appears anti-capitalist, and it certainly is. It is also anti-communist and anti-socialist, since wealth can be hoarded in any of these systems. It is therefore a blanket anti-money statement.

The root word of wealth is well. Wealth therefore means wellness. In societies based on money, money becomes equated with wellness.

Who wouldn't want more wellness? Particularly if you can keep it and hold on to it.

When the amount of money is finite, and people want as much as they can get, then there simply isn't enough to go around. Every gain on your part is a loss on someone else's part.

Wouldn't the very first statement be true in any given system in which anyone is capable of owning anything at all?

No. Money (and possessions) need not equate to wellness.
