Isn't it bloody obvious why Moga has to do that? Cos if not the other countries would stomp right over them. Heck, they would have done so regardless if it weren't for Aladdin's divine intervention. Let's analyse what Moga's options were:

Moga kept loving and serving 'humanity' (never orchestrated the coup)-- Magicians keep being used and abused, treated like cattle, discarded on a mass basis. It's far worse than Level 5, where the goi at least get to live their lives, so if everyone feels righteous indignation at that already then we can safely rule this out. Heck, it's worse than Moga's black rukh farm because if you don't think the magicians forced to endure that shit wouldn't curse their fate then there's nothing else to say. Moga 'only' damns a few, this is all of the freaking magicians! That's like eternal genocide. No.

The coup occured, then Moga went back to being nice/tried to initiate equality/whatever-- No. We all saw that the coup only happened because of peoples greed, ambition, and cruelty. The problem wasn't the leadership, it was the society. Even if the magicians had wanted equality- why should the goi give it to them? They're just fine as rainmakers and meatshields! Equality cannot be achieved if only one side desires it. Slavery never went away until the Europeans themselves opposed it; apartheid because the international community condemned it; it's a fact. Just the magicians wanting it would have done jack shit. Unless they turned to violence, and then what? Mutual annihilation? I think we can rule this out too.

Which leaves establishing a magician's country as Moga's only solution. Unless you believe the goi are just that much more important than magicians, the manga has clearly portrayed that with the society as it was there was no other way for magicians to improve their lot. Valuing them both equally, which is a grace the goi certainly never gave, leaves simply 'history is decided by the victors'. Works for goddamn everyone in our world, why not theirs?


Which brings us back to why they're creating black rukh: they need everything they can get to survive. It's just as necessary, and not even pre-emptive. Probably still not enough anyway. But ok for lolis and not for old geezers? Who woulda thought?
