I believe that society is not unfair. It is just that the consequences are not as easily visible when you are entangled in a pattern.
A few basic principles apply to society as well:
You want to be famous? Succesful? You can ALWAYS do that. Always. Always.
The only thing stopping you is if you are not wanting to play by the rules. Thinking that you need to be clever (you do not), or charming (you do not), or you need to be honest (you most definitely do not have to). Or thinking that with success comes other things. No. Peace and happiness definitely does not come from it, unless your GOAL is to be famous, not to be famous to get happy, for example.
I believe that society is fair. I have had my fair share of suffering, and yet I do not feel like it is anyone else's fault but mine. Sometimes I will try to write some kind of essay about this, because it honestly is fascinating.
An honest, fair society is one where every part of the web of life acts like an honest reciever and giver. With that, communism is a beautiful system. With distortion and a web of lies, you can pretty much "corrupt" any system, no matter how seemingly perfect it is.
