Maybe because of such thing as civilization imposing morals on us? Or inefficiency of it? Also were we naturally good slavery would never be a thing. Nowhere I claimed that human nature is evil, merely that it isn't good which leaves other options in between. If human nature is anything worth writing about then it is malleable. Frankly I'm with Marx on this - being determines consciousness and society (in great part) determine morals.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
