> Governments will always do evil. > they are by nature evil. These statements are not equivalent. It does not necessarily follow that doing a non-zero amount of evil means an institution, or type of institution, is by nature evil. You could easily say the same thing about individuals or any grouping of people; individuals "always do evil", therefore all individuals are by their nature evil? It's true only in a trivial sense, in that humans and human-created groupings are imperfect and will do a mix of good and bad.
