Though it is by no means logically required, we conjecture that most egalitarians would consider such a measure to be a bad bet.
Cases of levelling down suggest that the concerns that motivate us to be egalitarians may not be properly captured by egalitarianism.
In such a society, maximin egalitarians might well oppose the prohibition of seniority privileges by the state.
Although egalitarians agree that utilitarianism is flawed, they disagree about what is valuable about equality and, hence, in their diagnoses of where utilitarianism goes wrong.
As a matter of fact, it seems as though many egalitarians, who have considered them, have rejected them.
Additive aggregation is advocated by utilitarians and prioritarians, while equality-aggregation is favoured by strict egalitarians.
Many egalitarians believe that social inequalities are worse than natural ones.
To be part of such communities, then, would just be unfortunate for egalitarians.
