Egalitarianism is in the long term unsustainable because no one will put up with being corrected - even if you are right and they have no answer to your arguments - without abusing you, wanting to jail you, including threaten and commit violence against you. It is no surprise then that politicians dare not correct their voters and long-standing problems are never tackled. People deserve the government they get.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
