I read that to mean, sadly: "Utopia doesn't work because it is contrary to human nature."
Unfortunately, yes, our brains are still wired almost exactly how they were when we were hunter-gatherers; we just stuff it with more knowledge now.
Back then, sure, greed was a necessary survival instinct to have food over the winters, and hand-outs were risky.
We haven't adapted to the modern world, and the abundance available to us.
