So you are ASSuming that everyone in a society is equal and that there are no leaders and no followers. I have bad news for you, leaders are leaders for a reason. They are ambitious. Followers are followers for a few possible reasons; they are lazy, they are not ambitious enough, they do not have the wits, etc. Someone ALWAYS wants to be ahead of the others. And even THAT is assuming that everyone is an honest and upright citizen. As soon as one or more start leading the others, they have more power. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. THAT is why communism fails in any society bigger than a handful of people.
If you cannot understand that and insist on the most basic and blatant of human natures being nonsense, there is no hope for you.
