> Competition keeps people from being evil. Evil only happens when there's no reason for them to NOT do evil things.

I don’t agree. People generally don’t steal, but if they have no food, they will resort to theft to survive. Competition can prevent some ill effects of monopolistic tyranny, which I think is what you’re getting at here, but it breeds other evils.
