We have attempted fully equal societies though - many times. It always seems to end in mass poverty and violence against the population it claims to exist to protect. How many times do we have to try it before deciding it doesn't work? If you have a good idea, feel free to describe it, and explain how it would not suffer the same failures all past attempts have. I can't see how it would work, and if you're convinced it can, show your working. I don't defend the status quo either. I said SOME level of inequality. I personally think that inequality has gotten out of hand in the last few decades - the gap between the rich and poor has become absurd. Scandinavian nations and others have shown that a nation with less income inequality than UK/US is possible and may be desirable - though there are definite limits to how comparable Scandi countries are to countries like UK/US. Broadly equal societies may be possible at extremely small scales when in a state of abundance. Once you go past the limit where everyone knows and trusts each other, things seem to rapidly fall apart without hierarchy and inequality.
