Socialism says "Wanting to be helpful and nice, without asking for something back is human nature."
And there's why socialism doesn't work - misunderstanding human nature is about self-interest, whether you call that an evolutionary drive or original sin.

If instinctive, biologically based norms are mutable and they are intent on mutating them, it's an admittance that the natural norms are . . . natural. A point in favor of raising children as nature (w/ or without God) intended.
Sex is binary. There is no gender spectrum, no "genderbread" person, no non-binary human body. Will keep repeating until the gender spectrum cult disappears like the 20th century eugenicists.
