Ask HN: What is better Freedom or Equality
Question says it all. Also think deeply why one is better than the other instead of the first answer that comes to mind.
- bprager 7y agoFreedom for whom: the lower or the upper part of the unequal?
- ksaj 7y agoYou can be free and equal (anarchist), free but not equal (capitalist) or equal but not free (communist). Where I live we have the freedom already, so I guess equality is the fight du jour. And that does seem to be the case, since there are a lot of equality issues presented in the news.
- quietthrow 7y agoI think that’s a nice way to put it -anarchy, capitalism and communism. Curious if you have a name for the 4th permutation that you didn’t explicitly specify- no freedom and no equality
