    It sounds like you are agreeing to my original point in a round about adversarial way. Any ideology that presupposes humans as rational actors is destined for failure.

        Humans are driven based on vice and self-interest, or as Baudrillard calls it, the principle of evil. Capitalism has been a global phenomenon because of it, and laws should be in place to prevent the excesses, like billionaires and dark triad personalities from reaching leadership positions. That doesn’t mean people are inherently violent, but it can lead to violence, and does.
