Good. Then you agree that it’s valuable to look at the reasons for inequality, I presume, and not stop at “inequality is the centre of it all”. Both material and immaterial ones.

That quoted phrase you have there is pure hot nonsense.

It’s using habitual/continuative aspect. “This thing here that is habitually that way because it habitually is that way”.
