People want equality. If the CAN get it, they will grab more shit, yeah. If they could be a prince or princess, they would naturally jump at the chance.
The two ideas are not mutually exclusive. One is a dream of reality, one is a pipe dream. People can actually want both.
Humans can be greedy jerks, undoubtedly, which is why equality must be legislated.

Tragedy Of The Commons is a real issue.
