It's how France historically tried to deal with too much inequality, except it was a complete failure and after staggering levels of evil, bloodshed and oppression they simply ended up with a new elite that had absolute power. No inequality was solved. Other countries didn't go down that road and none regretted it. Yet it's amazing how quickly some will still exploit any new technology or change to justify reaching for violence. Some never learn.
