Oh you mean

2018-03-08 00:38:36 UTC  

However, the rule of law ensures that we are treated equally.

2018-03-08 00:38:42 UTC  

I see what you mean

2018-03-08 00:38:50 UTC  

why should we be treated equally though if we know we arent equal?

2018-03-08 00:39:03 UTC  

Because that's fair.

2018-03-08 00:39:15 UTC  

Like being born into wealth or poverty, a geographic region, etc. will create inequality

2018-03-08 00:39:16 UTC  

That's what allows for checks and balances.

2018-03-08 00:39:33 UTC  

Uhhh

2018-03-08 00:39:38 UTC  

Market socialist

2018-03-08 00:39:51 UTC  

Inequality is naturally created, however, the law is supposed to even the playing field of life.

2018-03-08 00:40:00 UTC  

Could we have a Romanian chat?

2018-03-08 00:40:04 UTC  

How would you prevent inequality from further expanding?

2018-03-08 00:40:05 UTC  

It's all about order through balance.

2018-03-08 00:40:08 UTC  

so what youre saying is government should be used to create equal opportunity where there is none?

2018-03-08 00:40:24 UTC  

The faithful execution of law prevents inequality from expanding.

2018-03-08 00:40:57 UTC  

@Bamboo Tu es francais?

2018-03-08 00:41:16 UTC  

@Denning Yes, that's the duty of government.

2018-03-08 00:41:22 UTC  

racism can be considered a natural thing tho

2018-03-08 00:41:26 UTC  
2018-03-08 00:41:34 UTC  

Awww

2018-03-08 00:41:37 UTC  

does government have other duties?

2018-03-08 00:41:42 UTC  

Of course.

2018-03-08 00:41:48 UTC  

Sorry mate

2018-03-08 00:41:59 UTC  

Maintain an Army and a Navy, faithfully execute law, protect people's rights, etc.

2018-03-08 00:42:25 UTC  

the very nature of a military implies loyalty

2018-03-08 00:42:28 UTC  

Overall, government duty is to provide opportunity to those who don't have many,

2018-03-08 00:42:30 UTC  

so your proposed state would still be hierarchical

2018-03-08 00:42:41 UTC  

Only if the military ruled.

2018-03-08 00:42:48 UTC  

My proposed state would be constitutional.

2018-03-08 00:42:49 UTC  

is this acceptable despite the threat of inequality?

2018-03-08 00:42:55 UTC  

No hierarchy.

2018-03-08 00:43:05 UTC  

There will always be a threat of inequality.

2018-03-08 00:43:17 UTC  

Through a constitutional state, that threat will be minimized.

2018-03-08 00:43:44 UTC  

why exist with the threat when you can eliminate it entirely tho
constitutional states don't really last

2018-03-08 00:43:56 UTC  

but constitutions have historically more served to guarantee the rights of those in power than the other way around

2018-03-08 00:43:57 UTC  

You can't eliminate inequality though

2018-03-08 00:43:59 UTC  

They will last if you enforce the law faithfully.

2018-03-08 00:44:06 UTC  

It's all about maintaining a republic.

2018-03-08 00:44:06 UTC  

what would this constitution look like?

2018-03-08 00:44:11 UTC  

How do you ensure the law is enforced though?

2018-03-08 00:44:14 UTC  

It's in plain writ.
