What's Satan's side of the story?

Satan is the agent of evolution, his effort to strive to be god, rather than to be godlike (and in so doing, be subservient to God), is the drive that all of us have to be masters of our domain. Selfish ambition changes the world

In short, Satan's position could be supported by some odd hybrid of Socialism and Objectivism.

Why socialism? If he is a proponent of selifishness, wouldn something like anarchy or anarcho-capitalism be more fitting?

Because socialism (at least post-Marx incarnations of socialism) embrace the idea of progress for the sake of progress, which would also be the "unbiased" interpretation of Satan, who aspires for betterment because betterment is part of natural evolution, and the destruction that might come with said betterment (say, the destruction of Communist Revolution) is a mere inevitable by-product.

Marxism-Leninism has no pity for those who suffer in the name of human betterment, so long as they *are* suffering in the name of betterment. While Objectivism posits that ambition and excellence are the only goals to which we should subscribe.

Edit: The Greek mythic figure of Prometheus is what i'm trying to drive at. He selflessly brought fire to mankind for the betterment of man, but the Gods felt that to be evil, because it shook mankind out of the "Golden Age" of Rousseau-esque pre-civilizational utopia.
