Just thinking here. The first order of business of any organization, and i might add, the most important, is to raise money so that the organization can operate. If they earn this money, they're generally honest, hard working, reliable, and dependable. If not, people wouldn't voluntarily give them their money, no matter how good the deal sounded. Now, if you got your money at the point of a gun, then none of the above would necessarily apply. You can see why psychopaths would do well in the latter scenario.
All organizations that earn their money need to justify their existence on a daily basis. Good morel priciples play a big part. They golden rule would fit into the organization very well.
All organization the take by force their operating money, do not have ot earn it and good morel principles need to be turned inside out to work.

“Government” itself does no harm, because it is a fictional entity. But the belief in “government” – the notion that some people actually have the moral right to rule over others – has caused immeasurable pain and suffering, injustice and oppression, enslavement and death. The fundamental problem does not reside in any set of buildings, or any group of politicians, or any gang of soldiers or enforcers. The fundamental problem is not an organization that can be voted out, or overthrown, or “reformed.” The fundamental problem is the belief itself – the delusion, superstition and myth of “authority” – which resides in the minds of several billion human beings, including those who have suffered the most because of that belief. Ironically, the belief in “authority” dramatically affects the perception and actions even of those who are actively fighting against a particular regime. The superstition drastically alters and limits the ways in which dissenters “fight” oppression, and renders nearly all of their efforts impotent. Furthermore, on the rare occasion that a particular tyrant is toppled, one form of oppression is almost always replaced by another – often one that is even worse than the prior one. ~Larken Rose
