: Does it matter which political system they choose to work under?
: If human nature is intrisically evil, no matter what the system (Socialist or Capitilist..) everyone is going to exploit it for their own benefit.
:

Listen People are not evil people are products of their surroundings or society e.g. the political system, the schools, the family background, their profession etc.

People are evil in the present society because no matter how much shit you throw at them by way of religion or morals and ideals basic good is not reflected in the worlkplace, the government etc. Competition makes people turn against each other instead of co-operating. What is murder, exploitation etc. but outgrowths of competition for survival.

Tell me citizens if capitalism is so obviously a reflection of the most terrible of human caracturistics then why do we accept it?
