Communism and Captialism are equal

I came to this realization of this by deconstructing the ideas of Socialism. I came to the conclusion that both can be bad or good, but it depends on who's hands it is in. If the person who is head of a company or a head of nation cares about people, and not power, then the little man will be happy.If the person wants power, than the little man will suffer. This is true in either cases of government.

Alright, let's assume for a moment that people are evil. Then what's government but a tool for people to exert evil over others?

Let's assume half the population is evil. Government is a magnet for the evil half, and democracy will let them screw over the good half.

Let's assume 1% of the population is evil. All it takes is 1% of the population to govern. Add that to the magnet effect, and you get most of the evil people in power.

Let's assume it's .001% of the population. The evil people rise to the top.

So if people really are evil, and evil is undesirable, the last thing you want to do have a government, because it will attract evil and then give it power to advance it's evil.

One exception makes a rule invalid. You can still have the "rule" but only as a general tendency. If I say "If you drop something, it will fall," that's a general tendency, because there are exceptions. If you drop something lighter than air, it'll move up. It's invalid as a rule, but it's true as a general tendency. And the way you were using it, a general tendency isn't good enough.

Your second sentence was incoherent.

My life is in my own hands. I'll do what I want with it reguardless of anyone else. Just because I have to interact with other people throughout my life doesn't mean my life is out of my own hands. You can't say that my life is of no significance because you don't even know who I am. That people do not know that I am alive does not make me insignificant. The world won't end when I die and I have never said otherwise. None of these have anything to do with the topic. Individualism is reality. Collectivism is a fairyland where imaginary things are real.
