I say:
I disagree as to the reason that occurs.
I want someone to explain a classless society to me, and how it could work. I do not think it can.
Even in small groups, this just isn't possible for an extended period anywhere I have seen.
Every person must "earn" life itself, through food and shelter. These are not free. They cost labor, or a trade of a valued "essential", which in our society usually is money or credit.
I contend that there never was, nor probably ever could be a classless society, at least when speaking of humans, and not machines.
I am open to debate this, but I have many times, and have seen no valid proof or extendable logic.

But money and materialism is perhaps not the correct standard to use to determine equality. It is possible that it has to do with respecting one another for our individualistic contrabutions (or whatever). To respect people from all walks of life the same, rather then by how much money they have.

I say:
I agree. Equality is measured by "ability" of the individual, with regard to law.
Equality does not mean hand-outs and "starting money" to play the game of life. Charity does this for valid causes, but it should not be governments duty or expense.
