Answer: In an egalitarian society, the "bar" is lowered down to the least productive minority, and because everyone is paid the same, no one strives to do better. This leads to mediocre productivity and no progress. In addition, egalitarians assume that justice requires ignoring if people deserve what they have or if they are responsible for what they lack. Leadership also comes in to play. If everyone is seen as entirely equal, who will take on leadership roles, and who will take them seriously?

Step-by-step explanation:

There will always be inequalities in every system that cannot be overlooked. To assume that every single person on this planet is equal and deserves the same commodities is absurd. In my opinion, social unrest only increases as those who have worked for more have to compensate for those who have not to ensure that every single person has the ability to lead exactly the same life. People are born to stand out, yet egalitarianism ensures that this will never happen.
