Egalitarianism was good because it allowed a lot of people to cooperate. It worked for a while in the USA and to some extent in Europe too. Cooperation is fantastic.

Cooperation is the best thing but it works far better without egalitarianism and in fact the more consistently you apply egalitarianism the more cooperation breaks down. As Curtis Yarvin put it in one of his recent interviews (paraphrase) "every product is produced by a king"

In 18th Century France this was a useful idea as the ruling class had become essentially lazy parasites. Napoleonic France was more efficient; officers in the army were promoted on merit rather than bloodlines etc.

18th century France had a revolt *by* the ruling class, not against it; the problem there was that the King empowered the bureaucrats at the expense of the nobles whom he considered rivals - the bureaucrats didn't need the King, the nobles did.

Napoleon takes the powerful forces that were unleashed and wrecking the country and expends them by turning them outward.

The US needs egalitarianism because it is diverse. But the present situation is a weird one where the SJW left have created an inegalitarian system of racial, sexual and gender privilege, the best person is a trans gay black woman, the worst is a straight white man.

Given enough time, the present SJW movement will break the USA because it will break the egalitarian ideals the USA was founded on (the idea that a person's race doesn't matter, only their personal choices).

That wasn't even close to the ideal that the US was founded on - it's just where the free energy to burn things and rob the place in the ensuing chaos was.

That's true, the original US was an explicitly racial state for white people, but AFAIK they treated all white people equally.

Property requirements for voting did exist but "voting" isn't really a treatment - conditions on it theoretically matter to the production of good governance
