Well, I've never looked upon 'evil' as being an idea. Evil is more of a descriptive term, not a concept. Regardless of whether it's constructive or not, there are, and have been, people who who can be construed as evil, plain and simple. There may be various forms, of course, but when you do something to another person ( or even an animal ) that is vicious, cruel, demeaning, hurtful and painful, with absolutely no regard to the other's feelings, and with no remorse whatsoever . . . you're evil! It can't be any simpler than that . . .

It all depends on how the term is used, I guess.

I suppose no one thinks they are evil even if they are. They probably have a different view of their actions.
