Sadly, it's easier to imagine a world with literal magic than one without brutal inequality.
I have a complete equality setting too. Its easy to imagine when you replace the concept of owning things with a concept of being able to use the things you need when you need them.
So you're saying, it's easy if you try? ;-)
It's easy if everyone tries and is on one page
Not really, most worldbuilding is shit and barely takes a second step after "it's the middle ages, but some people can do magic".
Because it wouldn't be the middle ages. It would be a massively different society in every single way. But that's really hard to do, even harder to properly communicate and often it simply takes a backseat to telling the story.
The world without inequality would be just hard to make properly as the world with magic. It's just that the world with magic doesn't shake apart quite as quickly if you build it poorly..
