I don't think that's the case. I think most people are not self-interested, or at least not in the selfish sense. I think most people are more than willing to sacrifice _some_ direct personal gain for better community gains.

The problem is that capitalism only allows selfish self-interest to flourish, so it incentivises even the more community-oriented people to always put themselves first, a lot of the time even in detriment to their immediate vicinity.

Capitalism is a form of authoritarianism in that it really only serves a few, and everyone else is just constantly fighting for survival.

> being authoritarian which will inevitably leads also to surveillance

That's exactly where capitalism is taking us.
