Back to the topic, I wouldn't say Sasuke is evil, like he wants to show the world his pain and darkness, but he certainly is no "good guy" either. Just like the rest of the ninja world, Sasuke is prepared to kill anyone that stands in his way to attain peace. Only few shinobi want peace without the deaths of anyone (Naruto, Hiruzen, Hagoromo, etc). Like Sasuke, many shinobi have killed or at least attempted to kill those who would stand in their way of achieving peace (Obito, Madara, Nagato, Hashirama, Tobirama, Danzo, etc). Sasuke isn't the villain he was when he initially awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, wanting the destruction of Konoha and everyone to feel his darkness. He doesn't want darkness, he wants a new system, and like a Madara, like a Hashirama, etc, etc, he'll take out anyone that he thinks stands in his way. Yes, his method seems like he wants to be a power-hungry tyrant, but it's not like he's Kaguya, turning everyone into White Zetsu, or killing everyone like a true villian should.
