Not all humans are greedy, therefore it cannot be human nature to be greedy. Greed tends to be strongest in those whose conscience tends to be weakest.
Great wealth attracts
Like flies to garbage, great wealth always attracts those who willingly sacrifice their principles for a paycheck and a seat at the Table of Power and Money. Corruption seeps into all cracks, rotting away the edifice. Society becomes diseased, and declines into the inevitable awaiting catastrophe, in which it is buried.

Nature's example?
He seems to be criticizing the system while saying (halfway in) that all people should be guaranteed a basic income. How is this encouraging of personal responsibility? How is this getting free of the masters?
He speaks of the example of the harmonious nature of nature itself.
Do the beasts and the primitives live on guaranteed handouts? I think only the ones in cages do.
I'm inclined to disagree with him. Those guaranteed a basic income will not be free to think clearly so much as free to watch more TV! Honest work, or using natural creativity to solve personal problems is way better for people than complacency and TV.

Yeah, let them die?
Dont you think we as human, with a intellect that let us handle more abstract and complex situations, can afford to help each other? No sane person just want to still still in darkness, they all want to do something, or be something.
Take a look around you.
I would gladly pay some kind of tax or whatever, to make someone in, for example, the military industrial complex unemployed and just tend to his or her garden, raise horses or whatever. In the end that would be more productive.

Here's why this is all happening...

What does your religious rhetoric have to do with anything? How many billions of people have died at the hands of a "peaceful religion"? If you really want to find Christ, start by looking within yourself. Stop worshiping the man and start heading what he was teaching.
Human history is replete with examples of the amassing of wealth and property by an elite few.
This is the nature of humans and their societies.
It is motivated by the basic human sin of greed, the origin of all other sins.
And this greed is what makes man such a dangerous creature to himself, the earth, and the other species of the planet.
The key to human survival is the control of greed (power and property) by society.
Communism attempted this and failed, because power greed replaced property greed.
The challenge is to create a new ideology which succeeds in controlling both types of greed.
