I don't think the OP was talking about anything other than survival of the fittest, which is the usual go-to defense of "capitalism is present in nature", and it does not tend to hold up. However they didn't actually go into much depth, so I guess you can read it however you want, though
Some animals are social by nature, correct. Whether or not they have evolved to become social, being social increases their odds of survival, due to economic factors such as pooling of resources [1].
Without survival, there is no animal. Hence it is the basal need.
