The frogs at
AlphaPsy point me to this
article,
Anarchism and Social Nature, in a Left-anarchist publication. The focus of the piece is a review of
The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker, and here is the punchline:
We, along with most other ideologies on the Left, have based our theory on a mistaken concept of human nature. We have learned over the years to distrust words like sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, cognitive science, and above all that dreaded buzzword, 'hard-wired' - yet we can no longer ignore the fact that these sciences are probably right about human nature.
AlphaPsy has
a detailed analysis, so I'll hand it off to them.
