This piece by @mattpolprof.bsky.social is great on substance. Socialism doesn't *have* to be naive on human nature. But I do think this is a weakness of many socialists. There is a kind of fantasy of a post-revolutionary world that goes beyond "a better world is possible."
JacobinCritics of socialism frequently charge that it rests on an overly optimistic view of human nature. The truth is that socialists want a system that guards against tendencies to greed and domination.
