Does " human nature " preclude a rational social order ?


The root of the problem is that the profession of psychiatry in the United States ( read any of the works of Erich Fromm- like " The Sane Society ") has for many years now become a tool of " adjustment " to capitalist society rather than an intelligent and civil critic of it. It lacks even the boldness of old Freud ( " Civilization and its Discontents " ).

Is it " scientific " to think that human social evolution culminates with the American capitalism and its world hegemony and the Trump Junta -or the Hillary Democrats- in the White House ?

Is there anything about " human nature " that precludes a RATIONAL social order ?
