What makes you think that's what the book is about?
Sorry, Dan, but you are really a complete fool.

Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8GDEaJtbq4
Invest just 1:36 sec listening to the pleasant narrator voice of Stephen Fry. You'll then be less ignorant about 'The Veil of Ignorance."

I like individuality, dumb people smart people rich people poor people happy people sad people. This logic you all think you strive for will be your demise as nobody is truly equal.

It relies upon everyone being happy with the idea of serving the greater good. over their own personal ambitions. Some people have no problem with that, some people obviously do. That's where the authoritarian state stems from. Those who refuse to play along end up being treated as criminals, "enemies of the people". And of course corrupt officials help themselves at will, because as the jailers, they know they'll never go to jail.
