Pretty much all of human history really. We cannot self govern without segregating into the haves and have nots.
That's a racist myth. White supremacists want you to think it doesn't get any better than Europe, but it does. Google indigenous communism.
We can self-govern fine without this dichotomy, it's just that the "haves" don't want you to think it's possible and they have the means of reinforcing their narrative, and the have-nots do not have a voice.
While yes, it's been this way for a long time, it's not the rule and no more required to our survival than a thousand other false essentialist ideas we've discarded along the path through history.
