The human race does nothing but perpetrate crimes of opportunity against one another, that is the definition of capitalism.  How can you expect world peace when we are constantly at one another's throats?  Until we mature, only a minority of the most evil of us will rule and the rest will just be the carpets which are walked upon.

Equality is merely a word cast out so that those in control can control and those being controlled can aspire to one day take the reins.  It is a cycle of destruction that has no good end.
