It is not realistic or practical.

There's always going to be someone who has their own agenda,
and they will try to manipulate or force it on others.
People will always look out for their own needs & desires.
It's rare to find those who give by nature.
Well then, the situation is this?

We can imagine a way of organising society that would be better, that would make us all happier and would be a better place to live.

But we cannot achieve it or realise it, because human nature is too poor to make this society, even when we know it is better.

Because people are too selfish, or aggressive, or lazy... we cannot help but live in a world of the ruled and the rulers...

I dont have such a pessemistic view of humankind, if others do, I can only hope for history to prove them wrong.
