Power always corrupts.

Don't be childish. You know full well that was not the intent or focus or my point. Focus on the human nature stuff and read about the psychology of control and self preservation of groups.

Human nature doesn't exist outside of the context of its existence, the social life of humanity. Under different material conditions, "human nature" is wildly different. An appeal to a higher, supernatural "human nature" is therefore not a materialist explanation.
