I don't think R. Weiner was setting that out as his vision for the Masorti movement; I think what he was trying to do was challenge people's default assumption that the movement was moving towards increasing egalitarianism. As a stalwart of Assif, I'm sure he himself is in favour of increasing egalitarianism. Maybe what he said was intended as a wake-up call.

I'll be posting what he said in due course, so we can see what other people think.
