> They serve a political purpose.

Indeed.

> That vague notion that "some people are just different" is the base for many political violations.

As is the idea that everyone is an interchangeable unit of labor, all producing the same outputs if only they were given the same inputs.

> If anything the ideal, final form of what I am saying is this: Real Incorruptible Democracy.

I don't know what you mean by this, but I am highly skeptical of anything that claims a title like "incorruptible". Such things are usually the exact opposite, sort of like countries with "Democratic Republic" in their name or ships billed as "unsinkable".

Agreed. That's why I don't believe in that. And actually that's kind of what I'm criticizing: the fake science used to judge peoples behavior.

But I do know we're way WAY more similar than our cultures would have us believe.

I'm saying we can devise a political system that is incorruptible. Just like we generate mathematical proofs that underpin technologies which handle our worlds economy. But the creation of an incorruptible democracy can ONLY be done by the people who benefit from it. As in, the rich would never help us do it, only the poor. In fact, the rich would probably view us as enemies if we seriously tried.

Please show your work. All human history says this can't be done.
