The problem with Marxism/Communism is it requires a constant exorcism of the very best of human nature to be successful. Unfortunately, people are almost never on their best behavior and will almost always warp what could be beautiful ideals to their own selfish benefit. The reason Capitalism has been so successful up until now is because it relies on the worst of human nature to thrive. Greed--a.k.a. human nature--is the downfall of Communism and the advantage of Capitalism. Besides...evil/good, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. One man says it's evil to force terminally ill people to live regardless of their wishes. Another will tell you it's evil to do anything but keep them alive for as long as possible no matter how many machines it takes and how much pain they're in. Nothing is good or bad, but THINKING makes it so. Hitler thought genocide was a good and godly thing to do and there are plenty of people alive to this day, in this very country, who agree with him. What's more, those same people would tell you to your face that, "only the white race is righteous in the eyes of the Lord and it is his will all others be subjugated or exterminated." I, don't agree with them, so I'm evil because I'm, "going against God's will."
