Jeremy Bentham, "Essay on the Leveling System":
"The love, the passion, for equality has its root, not in virtue, but in vice, not in benevolence, but in malevolence . . . The passion for equality has no root in the benevolent affections; its root is either simply in the selfish affections or in the selfish combined with the malevolent . . . The lover of equality in its most refined form is the man to whose eyes the spectacle of another's prosperity is intolerable. What, then, is the so much boasted passion for equality? it is a propensity which begins in vice and leads to ruin."
