It's all about giving people what they truly deserve based on the work that they do. It can't work if the power is in the hands of the few, the power must be in the hands of everybody.

That sounds like the whole communist argument... Communism as mentioned before, on paper, it's a great thing. In real life, a greedy war monger takes control of the ranks and dismisses anyone different to his ideals, as if he alone has the right to determine a country's direction.
