Not by a long shot. Everything I stated above still holds true and is easily observable by anyone who isn't brain dead (or in denial to protect their ideology).

Quote:There always was, and always will be greed inside people

Prove it. Until you can, I will just dismiss this for what it really is: pseudo-scientific, biologically deterministic crud used as justification for the explotation and oppression of people everywhere.

Quote:no matter how many prisons, gulags, or retraining camps you make. You cannot beat "nice" into people.

Um, capitalism already does these things, and it does so ruthlessly so what the fuck are you talking about? Beating nice into people? This doesn't even make any fucking sense, it sounds like more of your fake scientific "human nature" crap that has no relation to material reality.

Quote:At the Liyuan Dog Market, the largest canine bazaar in China, animals are often mistreated and sometimes die just a week after purchase, but dog lovers have few other options when they want to buy a pet.

Not sure what point you are trying to make with this article? That people will try to make profits any way they can regardless of rules, laws, and regulations so long as we have a capitalist system that fosters and perpetuates greed? If so, yes, that is true, no one said otherwise. If not, then what is your point?

Black markets exist as a result of laws and restrictions placed on certain goods and services in regular markets; they are a natural consequence of the system. People will resort to illegal transactions to realize those profits to avoid higher taxes or be able to generate profit in general, and people will also try to get certain things that they deem necessary for themselves that are illegal in regular markets in many places (for instance, someone who buys marijuana to relieve physical pain they may be enduring that legal pharmaceutical drugs cannot). However, to argue that they are not part of or a result of the capitalist system at large is just plain false, cause they most certainly are. It has zero to do with human nature, and everything to do with material conditions. The only way you will ever get rid of black markets is if you get rid of capitalism itself.
