People with wealth,  power, and status do not give up peacefully. They have resources to suppress early calls for #equity. Because of early successes, #suppression is pursued with greater confidence. But the underlying process of rising #inequity continues. Pressure for change increases until it can not be suppressed. The leveling of income and wealth inequity is usually a time of #unrest, #instability, and violence. A #goodsociety must learn from the mistakes of past failed societies.
