You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never
deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil
system with his or her whole soul. – Mahatma Gandhi

Christianity also teaches that evil results from disuniting with God’s will. God’s will is, of course, expressed in his laws of the Old Testament era

tyranny is Evil; it is the exercise of power beyond right, which no body can have a right to –  all punishment is Evil if not for the greater good – John Locke
