I'm destitute myself. I have a dilemma:
- How come you protect vices (unnecessary stuff that cost money) since you're destitute?
Let's suppose people who control us no longer exist. In this scenario people still create demand for vices because from your perspective:
Unless the "vices" are unEthical there is no "vice" I would say One has to give up.
- How is this scenario different than our current scenario?
What is the operating principle of evil?
Evil makes us beneficial for evil by hijacking our attention from our initial goal of evolution to unnecessary stuff.
Vices have the role to hijack our attention from what matters.
- How can we be free of evil as long as people create demand for it?
- How can we fulfill Our potential as long as people protect vices (stuff that are not even necessities)?
Because this planet belongs to all of Us (and pleasures are not "vices") and They hold in "trust" many millions for each One of Us, having stolen Our wealth centuries ago. Why do You want People to live with nothing but basic survival stuff? When this planet of Ours is vastly abundant and could allow every One of Us (and many times over) to live as richly as We might choose?
If We remove money, allowing that abundance to flow to all, scant attention will be paid to the material and a more spiritual society will emerge. (There will be no status symbol but the betterment One gives when All may have the material stuffs They choose.) Social currency will be sought - love, appreciation, thanks, adoration, respect, reputation, lauds, fame, affection, bragging rights, Self-satisfaction, all accounted for in Our hearts and minds.
You say: "Vices have the role to hijack our attention from what matters." Precisely what is it that "matters?"
And again, "evil" is unEthical behavior choices. What is "evil" but choosing to do one of these things no One - not a single One of Us - would say was ok to be done to Us:
Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther
Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone
Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)
These are the three Principles (Laws) of Ethics. What is "evil" outside doing these things? I surely see no One demanding these things... So what "evil" are We demanding, in Your view?

Our attention will not be on stuff when We can have all We want. Then, the material becomes unimportant. Would You please answer the questions I asked? Specifically:
