"Oh shit Engels we forgot about human greed" โ€“ Marx

You're right, human nature towards greed is the only reason any humans are motivated to do work and that's why we need capitalism. It's not like humans do things for other reasons like survival or curiosity or as an output for creativity or genuine passion or for companionship or just plain boredom. Before capitalism people just laid down in caves and died because they had no monetary incentive to survive.
