“The question always comes down to how do we stop people from being bad.” This is the problem with not having a materialist analysis of the world, its not about being bad or being good or morality at all. At large people are motivated by self interest, perpetuating and sustaining their material conditions. Its only through struggle of the oppressed against those in power that change can come about.
I think I understand what your saying and it’s hard to disagree. The motivation of self interest is the driving force for everything, the power struggle is inevitable, and it’s more about the journey than any goal. Do I have the jist?
