Please tell us how well embracing inequality has worked out for societies in the past.
LOL, move goalposts much? You went from endorsing "equity" to calling the opposite of it inequality.

I never said anything about suppressing equality. We should absolutely strive for equality of opportunity. Equity implies ownership and equality of outcome, which is the one way road to hell that every failed Marxist nation went down.

For the last sentence, a clear issue is that people will always try to make sure that some are more equal than others. Kind of defeats the goal of a collective society.

This also reminds me that reading The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Kesey seemed to embody this. Ommmm. Kumbaya.... but I'll be the grand poobah dictating who can do acid. If I am feeling masochistic, I'll have to read that book again followed by Cosmic Banditos to decide who is the more pretentious asshole. :unsure:

You never said anything about not suppressing equality either.

Just like you never said anything bad about Trump.

Or how you never said anything bad about Proud Bois.

A better more equal outcome for all.
Yes let’s be like Cuba where a brain surgeon makes the same $100 monthly salary as a janitor. Sign me up!

Even amongst people of similar socioeconomic starting points we don’t have equality of outcome because we don’t have equality of effort.

You never said anything about not suppressing equality either.
Actually I did, I said that we should strive for equality of opportunity. #learntoread
