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.



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.
At this point it is obvious you have not done the reading, because your opinion is based on your experience of life, not the findings of archeology. Please, I can not provide all the information that is available, by googling, buying books on the subject, using your local library. I am doing my best, but did you use the link?
