However, as you develop the point, I become less comfortable with
it. By "paradisiacal" I assume you mean Utopian, which I suppose is an
ideal state of affairs that is independent of empirical
determinants. But why do we start with an assumption that freedom,
equality, etc. is in any way "natural". For something to be "natural"
I suppose means that it is innate, hard-wired or genetic, rather
than something socially constructed. I've no idea how you would prove
that proposition that these behaviors are fixed and innate.

CB: "Natural" here would be original human nature, or the features of
the species in it revolutionary origin, those which differentiate it
from the species out of which it evolved.  This original human nature is
characterized by being cultural in the anthropological sense. The center
of human culture is sociality, in the form of kinship, which creates
transgenerational sociality, or communism,  organizing the relations of
the living generation based on tracing descent from common ancestors. It
is inherently not fixed like genetic based traits. It is in fact a
LaMarckian-like capacity, i.e. non-Mendelian, i.e. culture allows
inheritance of acquired characteristics, violating the central dogma of
biological genetic inheritance or the Mendelian principle. Human nature
is social.  Communism and its utopianism allows a return of society to
this primitive communism but on a higher level.  We can say that the
original human nature is communism.
