Influence your thoughts and feelings

Uh guys.
I find this thread completely irrelevant.
It turned into a communism vs non-communism thread which is quite sad.
Kinda like arguing good vs evil. "Why, ofcourse good is good and evil is evil!", you may say. Not necessarily.

We operate under the assumptions that good is x and evil is y.
We consider evil = evil just because we have been raised to consider good to the be norm.
What if the society had been brought up as "evil". Then evil would be good, and good would be "abnormal behaviour" and thusly evil.
Kind of like Drizzt (the good drow that is raised in an evil society).
To them, he is the "evil" in their midst.

*shrugs* I'll stop before I rant too much.
There is no perfect form of government, no matter what we tell ourselves.
As long as its humans governing other humans, we will have asshats and jerks as leaders who continue to steal this worlds resources for their own personal gain. Show me a selfless politician and I will guarantee you he has a hidden agenda. If anything, a universal constant would be: Politics = The Great Evil.
