Where is the "New Man"

If you are an avid reader of history, and if you are true to yourself, you know that all revolutions start with the promise of a new dawn. A totally new world, the birth of new man, and ...... a few decades later, they all end up with the same old humans. The genes are more powerful than the promises and hopes. The ape wins over the high expectations again and again.

All revolutions start with the fall of the old order, with starry eyed revolutionaries that promise themselves and others that this time, it is all different. That this time, we will really change the world, that time time, we will "build the new man"(as the communists in Russia used to promise). But at the end, greed and selfishness wins over, the chimpanzee in all of us wins over the promise of humanity. Christianity ends in the Byzantine empire and the Vatican, French Revolution ends in Napoleon, Russian revolution ends in Stalin and Brezhnev and the Russian mafia, English revolution ends in the restablishment of monarchy with crowds in the street cheering the return of the monarchy, Islam ends in the Omayed caliphs. Where is that mystical "New Man"? Does he exist only in our dreams? Can't we ever have him? Should we change our genes to achieve that dream? Can we ever subdue our inherent nature that tends towards greed and selfishness? Is it always going to be the "Animal Farm"? Are the pigs always going to win over at the end?
