On The Causes Of Inequality

Equality is the common rationality and value pursuit of all mankind.In the pre-Qin period of China and the ancient Greek-Roman period of the West,the political concept of both China and the West was shaped in an almost parallel manner,shaping the different ways of thinking between China and the West.The historical trend of the Chinese and Western political models,but the rationality shared by mankind prompted the Chinese and Western to meet in the care of equality.Traditional legalists and ancient Greek reformers have put forward the idea of equality of law in a coincidence,and the Stoic School has created a new concept of "global citizenship" in advance,including slaves,Gentiles and women.Under the protection of the world city-state.The Stoic School's concept of equality has been diverted,and the Christian priest has inherited the theological part of it,and the Roman jurist has inherited the part of the natural law.On the one hand,Christianity preaches that every person is a God's people,has equality before God,and on the other hand,it has made various divisions for the unequal favor of believers.The priest puts forward the interpretation of "slavery by sin" against the inequality of the human world.In essence,it is to attribute all good to God and all evil to human beings.It is the fault of slavery's tyranny to slaves.The modern classical natural law school has taken natural reason from the spirit of Roman law.They bypassed the gods and traced the "natural state" to verify the correctness of "natural human rights."Rousseau ended human equality at the beginning of social state.The root cause of human inequality is attributed to the occurrence of private ownership.He attempts to use human "sympathy" to block human survival instinct.In fact,in the absence of legal status,the strong can fully exert its physical superiority without any restrictions,so that the weak can succumb to their own violence,and the potential survival crisis also makes the weak are willing to be slaves.The cause and foundation of human inequality is the difference in physical constitution given by heaven.Private ownership only expresses this innate inequality through the form of wealth.The inheritance system transmits and accumulates this inequality through the form of wealth,and the purpose of the law is to maintain these systems.
