Ok I mean I am somewhat familiar with Marxism, I mean that just happens by existing on this instance. I do consider myself a Marxist and I like bringing up Xinjinag because I have done a lot of personal research into it. Although I don't know much about how Marxists describe or define alienation, I just use it as a convenient way to describe why I think people act in certain ways.
That's an interesting thought. If I'm being honest I have no idea how much people's "nature" differs from person to person. My brain has kind of made the irrational decision to pretend nature doesn't exist and everyone is born the same because it's so much easier to think of things that way. And regardless you still can't blame someone for their nature either can you?
It's funny how my argument has just turned into asking questions but I would be grateful if you had some thoughts on this.
