people can't be evil...
I never made that claim. I never even implied it. I did imply that it is rarely that simple.

So only the person who actually commits the act is ever responsible. Don't most countries have some form of conspiracy laws -- where if you are involved in planning or motivating a criminal act, you are guilty of that act? If this sort of law unjust?

but if we only had utopia where people had no choice but to live the way the society demanded... no freedom, no joy, no love, no passion... no thanks
I've never argued for a utopia -- nor do my arguments require a utopia. Any notion of a utopian society -- however it is conceived -- has nothing to do with attributing responsibility more broadly than just to the two individuals.
