Equality is only equal if everyone starts off at the same level
- rayiner 4y agoNot true. The typical trend is regression to the mean. Germans, Italians, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Cubans, etc., all came to the U.S. at the bottom and over a few generations achieved equality with the original British founders of the country. The same thing is happening with Latinos today.
- coffeeblack 4y agoThat’s not correct. But assuming it is, how far are you willing to go? Skin color? Family education? Neighborhood a person grew up in? Gene defects? There are billions of reasons why two people are not completely equal. In the end, you need 999 bureaucrats to make sure one person get equity. One reason why communist countries are poor. Nobody produces things because everybody in working in the administration of equity. And in the end, everybody is poor.
- kaba0 4y agoWhat communist country? And come on, you are mixing up absolutely different things.. Economic left has absolutely nothing to do with this new-wave “liberal” thinking which is pretty much an American thing and is more of a propaganda to be able to point fingers. Like, how “woke” China is in your opinion? Genociding Uyghurs doesn’t seem too “leftist” to me.
