let me spare you a bit of ustwo's gloss on his own positions and give you a little summary of how they go. you can find this by scrolling up in this thread, or by looking in any number of other threads:

human nature-->capitalism-->what exists because it exists as it exists-->my position within what exists demonstrates the legitimacy of what exists-->because that order exists now, it must always have existed--->my position is therefore part of a natural order--->a natural order is an expression of human nature--->human nature-->capitalism-->what exists because it exists as it exists-->my position within what exists demonstrates the legitimacy of what exists etc etc etc

sometimes this gets supplemented with assertions about genetics, which function as essence so human beings are objects the primary function of which is to repeat the characteristics imposed on them by their essence, which basically results in a claim about human nature, at which point the circle repeats again.

it's classic petit-bourgeois reactionary stuff.
you'll see, if you haven't already.
