Paldi5: If I were to move to an impoverished place, I would be "rich". It's a matter of geography to a degree. $100,000 in Guatamala probably gets you a lot of stuff.

Kind of. The Right-wing is certainly closer to nature in its rationale, whereas the Left is threatened by nature. None more so than today where modern Left-wing politics has abandoned all forms of rationalism.

mustbnutz: "Can humanity ever truely get to a point where we are all equal, are all classless, and no-one is considered on a higher ranking than anyone else?"
My answer to that question is another question. Why would you want or for that matter expect everyone in the world to be "equal"?
I am not certain that I would.
But I find it extremely interesting that even in so-called Republics, there is still evidence of class structures, people that consider themselves pseudo-monachy/aristocracy. This I find so incredibly ironic, in countries that profess to be anti-monarchy.
They are monarchy in all but title and blood-line.
The question of "class" also raises its head here, in the CS forums, I have noticed. People have a tendency to sometimes look down on bad spellers, or use their verbal and literary knowledge to appear "superior".
It just another form of a class-type system, in my opinion.
