Of course not. In the same sense that you were not romanticizing the war between empires. The Incas for example were able to dominate a lot of land. The greed was there. To understand we are humans, we need to admit even the parts that put us to shame. Only from recognizing shortcomings we can build something better. And it's not like humans are always greedy, survival of the strongest, yada yada. That's an oversimplification that some build over this fact (it's their agenda.), that we are not perfect. But it's not an essentialism, we can be better.
Anyway, sorry I ended up ranting off topic. Glad to share.
