Problem is, Kramerfan, the only explanation you're offering for your historical models is the very claim which you're trying to prove. "Human nature tends towards the corruption of ideals, for example, the Soviet Union was corrupted because human nature tends towards the corruption of ideals, for example, the Soviet Union was corrupted..." There's no real evidence being presented for anything you're saying, no reason for us to believe that the trends you identified are actually what you claim to be or even that they exist in the first place. It's fine to be a cynic, if that's what floats your boat, but if you don't have anything to back it up but intuition, it's not very reasonable to expect others to come round to your way of thinking.
