Yes, absolute power corrupts absolutely. This is the root of Communism. And it is wrong.

But to club Communism with Atheism, and mix arguments, will convince none.

Selfishness is recognised in all religions, by the way, since the dawn of time.

Even the atheistic religion of Darwinism should accept as a given that people would be naturally selfish if their progeny survived over generations solely by how strong their self-preservation and self-replication urges were, and how willing they were to kill others to save themselves in times of conflict.

Even a thinking atheist should see communism goes against human nature.

The problem is they are deceived in a lot of things, not just victims of a single mistake.
