We could, but we haven't yet figured it out how to.

Heavy progressive taxes and subsidized services would go a long way.

Sure you can. You have an equitable society, and when someone inevitably tries to take more than their share (because there will always be sociopaths), you make them stop.

That works only if majority agrees that we put such system in place and enforce it globally in the world. Some could say that communism was a failed attempt for this.

Why does it have to global? Isn't that just imperialism? Why can't it be scoped to a geopolitical unit that wants it?

(I'm highly skeptical of social movements that claim to be for equality, but of course there are officials who suspiciously enjoy non-equal luxuries. Then it just looks like greedy sociopaths leveraging 'equality' PR in bad faith, as a tactic.)
