Criminals are not evil, merely in the throes of a corrupt culture. Or they are pawns in the grip of a code laid down in the brains of our reptilian ancestors, a code that creates a criminal or a saint with equal ease. Marx opted for history as the great molder of behavior and societies. The contradictions are too insurmountable. Whites today are evil because some of their ancestors held slaves or were racists.
Men are evil because some are rapists and some are sexist.
Business people are evil because some lie to and cheat their customers. Americans are evil because, well, because we're Americans. When a person has no options, he cannot properly be labeled evil or good. Un fortunately, many of these people engage in endless wrangling as to whether humans are inherently evil or not. One person may find it more difficult to avoid evil than another, but each chooses when faced with alternatives for ill or good.
