QUOTE(ImperialSnob @ Mar 19 2014, 04:48 PM) I've come to a conclusion we don't need feminists, we don't need masculinits, we need humanists.
Then we will truly be equal.
Except when it comes to wealth. That's not going to change without a global economic revolution. And I think the problem is making those humanists. The idea won't be popular.

There are always going to be rich people and poor people. That is the way that the entire world has functioned since before recorded history. Even before modern currency a value was assigned to things (two cows equals ten chickens and so on) because there has to be some basis for trade. The idea that everyone can or will be equal is the very pinnacle of naivety because humans hunger for material things. What you're wanting has been tried before and it is called communism. It has never and will never work because of the basic human instinct to acquire things that they want. It all sounds great on paper, complete and total equality, but in reality there will always be a guy/girl at the top of the pyramid looking down.

I said an economic revolution, not scrapping the idea of currency. I've absolutely no idea where you got that idea from. As things stand, change in the distribution of wealth is impossible, because the wealthy are too invested in maintaining that wealth, and the economy reflects that. This in turn shapes the jobs market, creating an effective barrier protecting that inequality. Any attempt to change that on a national scale would simply be crushed by the global economy, so any change needs to be implemented globally in order to be effective. So any change would have to be on such a scale that it is in essence a revolution.
