I loved that, but never agreed with the "sociopath" bit

You don't think there are people looking to exploit communities for their own gain?

What I think on the subject is longer than I have space for here. But briefly - I think healthy communities spot these characters early and isolate them. It's not until the communities become toxic that the sociopaths can operate freely. So the sociopaths are a symptom, not the cause.
