Why Christmas Carol is the most evil book ever written

Forget Das Kapital or even Ragged Trousered Philanthropist my nomination for most evil book ever written has to be Dicken's A Christmas carol as it smuggles across the most evil idea under cover of benign sentimentality and sachyremous dripping syrup that beguiles and disarms the reader getting in under the radar to plant its insidious message that the individual exists purely to serve the needs of others,that self sacrifice is a moral creed rather than a pernicious evil,that Capitalism is souless near criminal system that crushes the poor and exploits them.It has done far more damage to the culture than Das Kapitol ever has as no one has read the darn thing with its turgid impenetrable dry as dust incoherence.The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist pernicious and wrong headed as it obviously is is so clearly didactic polemic dressed as a novel that anyone can see right through it.No,for sheer unadulterated evil Dickens diatribe against the individual and capitalism is the most toxic and mendacious piece of work ever committed to print.
