Human society has always consisted of a class-based hierarchy. This is a fact.
Even in a reality in which 'right' and 'wrong' are false concepts, inferiority and superiority aren't.
So when I hear the world "equality", I get the feeling that those of the 'lower castes', so to speak, are attempting to usurp the oligarchs of their (rightful) place either by replacement or misplacement, in this case, making everyone inferior. For superiority occupies one throne and shares it with no one.
Inferiority, however, will gladly coexist with itself.
At the risk of being labeled an elitist despite living in meager conditions, I must state this: disadvantaged minorities (or sometimes, majorities) are always the only ones to ask for equality. Women, African descendants, -blam!-Iy disoriented individuals, and the economically unwell are and have been in a constant struggle to change the system in which they reside instead of becoming the major gear, and while it is admirable, it is also detrimental. What it has caused is an abherrant mixture of the defining characteristics of each of the classes, yet still mantaining a hierarchical structurre.
Discuss. I shall go to sleep now.
