There are predators and you must protect yourself against them. Protect the kids in particular. All species mark their territory and defend it. Nature is definitely opportunistic. Resourceful. Some would say Nature is harsh. Perhaps so. Mistakes are readily punished. But the height of folly is to think you can control Nature or beat the business model provided by Nature.

Capitalism is the Natural way of things. There are competitors. Nobody thinks of themselves as victims. Capitalism internalizes costs.

Opportunistic, wily, and territorial. After eating his fill, the squirrel stores away nuts for the future. Savings. Nature runs a balanced budget.

Socialism is unnatural. Socialism externalizes costs. Always extending unearned benefits to the undeserving. Economic imbalances. Mistakes go unpunished. Only in Socialism are people taught that they are victims, deserving something from the polar bear because four generations ago my great-great ancestral seal uncle was eaten by a polar bear.

I could go on.
