This is Marx talking, not me, but he belives that there is no human nature, and that everything we do in the high brain (so I'm not considering sex drive, need for food, water, etc) is all the way that you are nurtured.
If this is true, then Marx would have a valid point. I have a hard time believing that, though. Looking at it from a biological standpoint, it appears that there are certain inherent instincts ("natures"), includins social instincts, in every animal, so I don't see why the same principle wouldn't apply to us. I don't know, I could be wrong, I just have a hard time believing that there aren't social instincts that humans live by. What do you think?

Honestly, MJ, you would REALLY enjoy reading Das Kapital, one of Marx's works. I recommend getting this book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...270517-3139855
I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the link.
