They also never seem to think that they have enough they always want more.
Humans compete in groups, they do that to create safety in numbers and to create opportunities at resources. There is not one group, political, religious or economic view that does not do this. They are still labels and ideas designed to convince people to join.
There certainly are competing claims in all these. And yes those claims do get complicated. But the goal is simple, to get members into that group in order to grow. I still value an open system rather than a closed one party system or dictatorship because it is closer to the reality of the diversity in all life. But regardless of what system one might argue as being moral, because humans run governments any system is going to be open to corruption and monopolies of power. The west simply makes it harder to create a monopoly. But considering what global corporatism is doing to our species, the uber rich of the word certainly are trying to set up a worldwide plutocracy.
The backlash is inevitable and the later it comes the worse it will be like in france in 1789 .
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
