[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 16314402, member: 53488"] Not quite. Back in the medieval ages you could argue it was a capitalist society because if you cold afford to live like a noble or a lord you could have it. But it was anything but capitalism. It was impossible for someone born a peasant to move up in society short of a fairy tale. Peasants could farm and invent things but the market price a lord or noble would pay would keep the peasants in poverty and under submission. Not only was the system unfair but there was no perception of fairness at all. Now consider gene editing allowing only the most wealthy to continue lording over the masses by having genetically superior heirs with tons of wealth. With each generation it will get harder and harder for the poor to move up in society. Moreover it will not appear to be a fair system. Anytime the system seems unfair to the masses a revolution is just around the corner. [/QUOTE]
