Except that it actually isn't always relative.
You can tell which society actually is more just and righteous because it's the one that's more egalitarian.
It's all relative. Even in that situation there is no egalatarianism between the two states. Perhaps the internal egalatarianism of one state depends on the oppressiveness of the other (eg. "democratic" empires reliant on oppressed colonies). There's no freedom until we're all free, etc.
