This is a strong statement and I think very important to bring to people's attention. Most leftsists subscribe to the idea as a presupposition but I think the vast majority haven't really considered the point well. If they were challenged in a friendly way to deal with it, with encouragement and a little discipline to curb their desire for this to true, we might bring them over to a healthier, more constructive understanding.
I totally agree with you. The idea that human nature is entirely socially constructed is not only flawed but also dangerous. While socialization certainly plays a role in shaping individuals, it's simplistic to dismiss the existence of inherent human traits and tendencies. Recognizing the constants of human nature is crucial for creating effective social systems and improving our understanding of ourselves and others. It's refreshing to see someone advocating for a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the influence of socialization and the enduring aspects of human nature.
