vasser, you're conflating 'morality' both with non-hypocrisy AND some vaguely-alluded-to social interaction preferences.

Having enough wealth to be able to afford to abolish class divisions only permits non-hypocrisy if you've been proclaiming that class division should be abolished. You seem to be confusing certain societal political premises with 'morality', then calling the implementation of those premises 'moral progress'.
