No One Actually Wants an Equal Society
#8
RE: No One Actually Wants an Equal Society
Complete equality of resources/wealth could only be achieved via oppression.

You'd have to force people who have abilities to gain resources to give up every little extra they earn.

It wouldn't really matter how much people want the kind of equality you're talking about, people aren't born equal.

I suppose it could work if people wanted everything to be equal so much that they accepted being oppressed and having their skills surpressed.

Most people don't want complete equality because they're at least a bit reasonable and intelligent and can figure out that it wouldn't work in society.
The kind of equality they want is for example not to lose out on a promotion because the other person going for the promotion is the bosses girlfriend or cousin or something along those lines.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
