Simple. Teach the young differently.
Obviously, we're doing it wrong already.
Example: School uniforms. What tries to make every child equal in the eyes of the beholder is actually teaching them that there is indeed a class system in place. The uniform teaches the richer kids that they have to simplify themselves because a select few can't make it to where the rich kid is at and it teaches the poor that indeed, the rich are better in regards of possession and belonging. The rich might wear a uniform for a few hours a day, but when they're home, they can still wear the Nikes and play their Xbox 360s.
The poor kids wear the uniform and come home to something where the uniform was indeed better than most shit they put on their backs.
Teach the younger generation about fraternity, not uniformity. I could go on about this, but I have to go for now.
