Communism And Greed

Many present day philosophies and worldviews claim people are basically good and that bad or immoral behavior is the exception. The Bible states quite the opposite - that “They are evil, wicked, and greedy, as well as mean in every possible way. They want what others have, and they murder, argue, cheat, and are hard to get along with. They gossip, say cruel things about others, and hate God.

It leads to a circle of vicious carnality, destroying other people without question just so another zero is added to the paycheck. Another example of greed would be the coveting of power. Emperors from the past such as Napoleon Bonaparte all the way to recent dictators such as Joseph Stalin are perfect examples of men who want power. These two men had one main goal: to unite the globe under one main concept and to rule everyone. Napoleon Bonaparte started out as a Jacobin, member of a radical political party of the time aimed to bring republic in France, and a follower of Robespierre.
