Suppose you give everybody the same universal revenue (let us postulate everybody has the same rights).

The issue at stake, is that unless you also engineer them to be similar in every aspect (looks, intelligence, physical capability), there will be differences, and those differences will enable a new hierarchy, with people who have more, and others who have less, thus recreating a unequal base situation.

You don't get to solve the problem by making every human's base situation identical, you solve it by making the inequality device and the means to use it available to everybody.
