The trick, ideally, would be to ensure that those at "the bottom" are still able to not only live, but flourish with dignity. The 'stable boy' wouldn't want for a warm, dry bed and always having food on their table, and help when they're hurt or sick.

That's what I take from Allen's vision, at least. Not that everyone is rich and a king and tied for 1st place, but that those at the bottom of society still live fulfilling lives and are free of oppression and discrimination, and those at the top be morally upright and don't seek to control and oppress those beneath them.

Which....is possible, but at-scale is arguably very difficult to enforce at a sufficiently large society, without a lot of governmental-type levers to discourage runaway greed or malice while balancing against personal liberty and the common good.
And of course, setting something like that up takes a lot of work and time and buy-in from everyone involved, and I do not know if Allen has properly reckoned with that fact.

Allens dream is impossible. Humanity is a naturally greedy species that can never feel content. Its simultaneously our greatest strength and weakness. Strength in that our never ending want for more is what has driven us to seek out new things and innovate. Yet weakness that we can never be satisfied and thus will always seek more, no matter the damage and cost.

To fundamentally alter that is not possible and if it was. The world would stagnate and fall into collapse.

Say you limit wealth and enforce justice, well the new standard of power is to being the one with the power to limit wealth and enforce justice, so people who seek to control others will aim for that position since it gives them power. People are going to exploit each other, and they do so with beautiful dreams just as much as with tyranny, tyranny can even be preferable in that it's obvious and people won't fight for their own enslavement.

Justice for poor duke he has a name too that I definitely didn’t have to read here to remember it.

I swear if Allen and wiess teams up it's going to be like making a nuclear bomb but it's facing to whoever poor soul that is fighting them

I dunno how you jumped to "wishing she would die" when nobody mentioned that, but it's definitely the case that she's currently a hypocrite.

Obviously those of us that actually care about good writing want this to be a point of character development for her, but it is definitely the case that the way she is currently being depicted is quite negative. And that's a good thing, it means she's got plenty of room to improve which is good for a story. I feel like you're acting as though people are slinging insults at a real person, lol.

The comment two slots before mine literally ends with "pls tell me she dies".

And I missed them doing that, so now we're even.

Went back to previous chaps and hadn't realized that Shirley used to be called Sheryl in the TLs. Probably part of why I got confused about who was who between the girls.
