    I see what you are saying but my argument is that in real world systems the vast majority of the time it is in the individual’s self interest to enrich and defend a shared wealth/commons.

    The idea that it isn’t is inherently a belief not a finding of science and it has been imposed on us through cultural means for political reasons.

    You can create narrow conditions where the self interests of the individual existentially diverge from the interests of the group, I don’t dispute that… rather I think Capitalism is monomanically obsessed with creating these systems artificially and through violence and imposed collapse.

    I am fumbling at things Naomi Klein has already more brilliantly expressed.
