The world will never be equal ...in war, the army in the elevated position with a good view of the terrain has an enormous, almost insurmountable advantage. This is also true in the case of distribution of wealth - the wealthy are entrenched it is almost impossible to reallocate those resources.
Resources are finite.
The best that can be done is to try to uplift the majority of citizens to a decent (or good) living standard, like Scandinavian countries do.
May be that is what revolutions are all about.

that was my initial reaction too
my expression was very French too. I was like - how is this sustainable? The one thing people fail to understand is that this position is not future-proof! people tend to forget that laws are social contracts that everyone agrees to and buys in on. in a world where you child will never be whomever they desire due to inter-generational social mobility is not sustainable! this condition could have worked in the 19th and 20th century where information was controlled by 'silos of information' aka the press and TV stations that drove a certain agenda. in the mordern world it has to loosen or break (anyone wondering why we are having strikes day in day out?). the patience message is not going to work in this century. personally this is how I change the rules - I break them! I break IP rules daily! I cannot agree to a construct that disadvantages me.

they stole from you and rigged the system long before you even realized! perhaps the question should be - what is 'yours'? Is 'yours' what the rigged system gives to you for your troubles?

history is not done yet - the pen that writes history is not out of ink! history is being written everyday!

History writes itself. Sankara is a Marionette. We all are.
