Would you want to live in a world like yours where there are people in charge, but people will be tossed away in the pursuit of power....or a world where everyone lives equally, but there is no one to lead? Which is better?
... Both are bad in their own ways. Leaders drive change and development through, but end up with too much power in their hands more often than not. Mess up and pick the wrong person to lead and you've created a tyrannical reign.
Equality is an ideal, but sometimes people flounder without a unifying, driving force. It's difficult to say.
It is. And yet, it is an impossibility for a perfect system to exist, you know.
And if you get rid of that system...all it will do is invite chaos, or another system to fall into place that may be worse than before. Peace and prosperity are short-lived things.
You can keep a cycle going, but people ultimately clash. How badly depends on whatever situation you have in place -- mass chaos, or calculated conquering. Or, those are a couple of the usual brackets.

If they're trying -- really trying, then they're a cut above others. Even if there's still a long way to go, and a lot to do.

People will always have things they desire, above all else. And those desires push them to fight and take what they think they deserve.

But we are all prone towards selfishness, I'll give you that much. Even if you're trying to do good, there can be ulterior motives attached.
