No, it's a metaphor for human nature. Changing the form of society will not change the fact that humans are self-interested beings. If humans were completely devoted to the good of society without any sense of greed or malice, then virtually any system including capitalism would work just fine. Since humans are in fact greedy, no system will work perfectly, but at least a system like capitalism recognizes that greed and attempts to channel it back into something useful for society.

You may as well be proposing a perpetual motion machine. You are trying to lobby for a form of society that wouldn't last 3 hours if some magic managed to make it come into being.
