This is Extreme Wealth Inequality: How Does One Fix This?

47. Violence tends to perpetuate inequality

in a number of ways. It could easily be argued that violence is behind the current inequality, as war in general can be seen as a business that siphons wealth and lives from the majority and concentrates in in the hands of the minority. I just don't see how violence leads away from inequality, unless one imagines the wealthy to be helpless, without resources, incapable of planning, and incapable of winning a game they have been playing very skillfully for ages.

The best examples of equality we have are the result of good government - elect people dedicated to good government, demand good policies, and ignore most of the crap the media has to say about it. Of course, that requires a populace to act in its own best interests with intelligence as well.
