That reads as an argument but my lack of English skills makes it hard to understand what exactly are you saying.
However, it does seem to me that that you still haven't addressed one of the main points you're responding to, that we can have perfect equality where everyone lives as the average person below poverty line today. Would that be a better society considering your arguments?

- db579 6y agoArguably yes. I'm not saying it's necessarily the world I would want to live in but I suspect the world's aggregate perceived level of happiness may be higher.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> we can have perfect equality where everyone lives as the average person below poverty line today Well, no, we probably can't. Inequality can be mitigated, but it can’t be eliminated, especially durably. > Would that be a better society considering your arguments? That's really an objectively unanswerable question for many reasons. You can't really measure, on more than an ordinal scale, individual utility, or aggregate it, except by interposing non-objective judgements. Would it be better for lots of people currently above the poverty line? Maybe, depends how far below the poverty line the equal society was.
