Quote by Will Durant
Destroy it. There may be a redistribution of the land, but the natural inequality of men soon re-creates an inequality of possessions and privileges, and raises to power a new minority with essentially the same instincts as the old.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that even if a system is destroyed or undergoes a major redistribution of resources, the natural inequality among individuals will eventually recreate an unequal distribution of wealth and power. It implies that regardless of initial attempts to create equality, a new group with similar instincts as the previous ruling minority will rise to power. The quote suggests that this is a consequence of inherent human nature and instincts, and challenges the notion that total equality can be achieved without addressing these underlying factors.
