The egalitarianism applied only to white males. The status of women, African Americans and Native Americans didn't change.

What contradicts Tocqueville and understanding of egalitarianism?

Alexis de Tocqueville's understanding of egalitarianism, particularly in "Democracy in America," emphasizes the idea that social equality can lead to materialism and conformity, potentially undermining individualism and civic engagement. This view contradicts the notion of egalitarianism as purely a positive force for social justice and empowerment. Critics argue that his perspective overlooks the potential for egalitarianism to foster diverse identities and promote active citizenship rather than mere conformity. Thus, while Tocqueville acknowledges the dangers of egalitarianism, contemporary interpretations often highlight its capacity for fostering genuine community and individual expression.

What is an egalitarian government?

Egalitarianism is the belief that all are fundamentally equal. According to the Cultural Theory of risk, egalitarianism has a negative attitude towards rules and priniciples, and a positive attitude toward group decision making. Such theory states that an "egalitarianist society" is held together by cooperation and implicit peer pressure instead of explicit rules and punishment. Some such as Gary Hull of the Ayn Rand Institute say that egalitarianism is outcome based and ends up rewarding mediocrity. Others such as Alexander Berkman who was an anarchist believe that egalitarianism is about equal opportunity.
