Historically, Income Inequality Is Known As A Destroyer Of Civilizations

The Great Leveler”, Scheidel argues that income inequality is essentially an inevitable byproduct of civilization....Unfortunately for humans, the only remedy appears to be societal upheaval, produced by war, disease, state collapse, or revolution.
So the question begged is there any means to achieve income equality without having to destroy our society?

I think we have a case of circular logic here. Since all civilizations in the past have fallen and since all have suffered income inequality, therefore income inequality must be the cause that destroyed all civilizations past tense. The fallacies are many here. The first being that income inequality is the only common quality that all fallen civilizations share. In fact fallen civilizations had a number of common conditions, any of which can be argued as the common " Destroyer of Civilizations ". Second many civilizations existed for very long periods with income inequality while others fell rather quickly. Why were some nations able to exist for long times if income inequality is so destructive ?
We know that war, invasion, famine, flood, drought, and cultural declines all contribute to civilizations collapsing. To single out Income Inequality as the " Destroyer of Civilizations " just does not sound right.

So what has leveled income other than state collapse, disease, war and/or revolution?

Income Inequality Is The Most Meaningless Thing There Is
That's Called Equal Poverty For All

There is income equality, it's called minimum wage. If you want more income, you work harder, longer, get an education, start a business, take risks. What a stupid ass question.

If you want complete equality, including income equality, the best place to find it is prison. Same income, same clothes, same schedule, same food, same everything. By definition, as people gain more freedoms, they will achieve more disparities.
Income inequality is just one more ruse of the lefties to attempt to show how "unjust" our society is by allowing such discrepancies to exist. To those lefties, I say, go to prison where you'll all be treated the same.

Or they can stay on welfare where many are already. If men like Getty, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie heard this nonsense they'd spin in their coffins.

So everyone becoming destitute from a state collapse to you is a good thing ? As long as everyone is equal you are happy. I say that income equality is the absolute worse state of humanity that can exist. Historically the more unequal the wealth is the more happy the society is.
My argument is unquestionable. Equality can only exist if everyone is equally starving and poor. Every great civilization at it's height was also at it's most unequal. The only path to equality is to make everyone equally miserable. Income inequality does not destroy civilizations. Income inequality is the state all civilizations find themselves in after something else has destroyed them.

What destroys a civilization is both immorality (pedophilia of the elitist who sacrifice children on the altar of their gods) and inflating their currency resulting in impossible-repayable debt.

That is a good answer. There are other things too, but moral rot is definitely up there.
