@qwerty111111 It seems like a bait, but in case it's not, the main lines of the argument that "A country only runs because of inequality" or "[equality] is never a state's goal" are refuted by the existence of well-functioning states with high equality -- pick your favorite from the Scandinavia. A positive correlation can be established between equality, development and peace. Long-term inequality threatens the stability and existence of a state -- an "objective" incompatible with its perpetuance. That said, there is some kernel of truth in those words, though buried deep down in what reads a stuporous rant.

After reading last few pages here, I repeat my cliché statement:


"FOCUS ON ESSENTIALS. CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLES." 💐👍

"A country only runs because of inequality" is not a bait oramateurish argument. It has been widely discussed in literature. Even prophets of Justice like rawls accepted that inequality has a functional value in society. if visible forms of inequality of wealth, education, health are eliminated who would do the dirty job. Who would work in factories, who will clean the streets, who will perform drudgery that maintains the civilisation.

Civilisations have been built upon back of inequality. Romans had their slaves, Americans had slaves , Indians had caste. The whole refinement , class, leisure , etc are possible because someone else is doing the dirty work( Even we who wax eloquence on equality have been living of our mothers unpaid labor and sacrifices. It's just because our mothers have been doing laundry, cooking food, that we have got the leisure time to read philosophers and engage in philosophical debates)

And whenever this inequality is threatened you will see a backlash of the elites. Fascism arose exactly at the time when discourse was shifting towards equality due to rise of socialism and communism. Just the theoretical threat of equality was enough to incite the elites. In indian context Kamandal came coz elites felt threatened by mandal. Just see the backlash when govts try to give freebies to poor, the slumbering taxpayer that doesnt awakens when state fails to provide basic services , suddenly awakens when you talk about UBI !

If fascist germany seems too old just see how in present times the backlash against inequality(think occupy wallsreet) has been hijacked by populists Like Trump : a guy who himself doesnt pay taxes and is obscenely rich yet has support among working classes.

@Davidjones The notice is not on the website but source code of upsconline.nic.in has it. 
PS - I do not know if source codes can be amended or something like that. I just tried Ctrl + U and then Ctrl + F.
