But we should make more allowance for the current state of things, since each and every sane being is a perfect little personal capitalist.

I like the way you frame the argument, but there is no genetic or behavioral basis for this particular statement... in fact it's one of the most commonly used arguments for capitalism that is really wrong and relies on most peoples' ignorance of cultures and modes of production that are not capitalist. If everyone was 'naturally' a capitalist we wouldn't have to impose it by force on indigenous populations.

We don't force it on them, it is natural and had been damged by despotic rule. Let them go to anarchy, and still capitalism will emerge. Capitalism is the economics of the free, and other system is capitalism with a smaller freedom value
