The theories of Karl Marx has made us to understand that an equal society is possible if the society work in unity. Search has shown that 80% of relationship between societies is strictly bias and profit minded which make it difficult for equal society to exist. The rich hate the poor to reach the class and the poor hate the rich for always staying at the top. A quote says: the rich cannot sleep because the poor are awakes and the poor can not sleep because they're hungry. This are part societies from the pictures of seeing people equal or leadership doubtlessly working towards equal societies. Is any society that practice equality laws and equity for oneness in all shared resource?
An equitable and just society will be the desire of the poor and not the rich. If the resources of the country are used effectively everybody may at least have their basic needs. But the influential people in the society systematically short-change the masses and accumulate wealth. Capitalists will always partner with the government to exploit the masses. Most industries are owned by businessmen that are connected to top government officials so they will always make policies that will favor their cronies.
In my country, because the president has ties with some companies he makes policies that will negatively affect competitors. Some of them were wrongly charged with tax invasion and closed down. The favored firm will now enjoy a monopoly. They will fix the prices of their goods as they like because there are no competitors. If society maintains equality the rich will not get richer and the number of poor people will reduce.
