A system of ethics that puts the good of society over the good of the individual, is not an ethical system. There is no good or evil no right or wrong when there isn't any choice but to do a thing. The nature of man is the basis of an ethical system. The primary virtue is rationality. The proper beneficiary is oneself.
Man can choose between good and evil actions.
Meaning that in any contest, there are winners and losers. Man can create. Man can make new things where none previously existed. Man's life is not zero-sum unless he chooses it to be. A cheetah is not called evil because it kills in order to survive.
