Are Democracy and Equality fundamentally incompatible? No. But I don't think equality is even a good ideal. There are great personalities - and there are the inferior classes of people. Obviously those of the superior rank should determine the direction that our species takes. The rabble seeks to promote 'equality' as a remedy for their own lack of greatness. Societal equality is, therefore, a rebellion by the weak against those who are strong, capable, and worthy; Democracy is the tool used by the masses to keep the excellent from becoming too great.
