The idiotic 'proportionate representation' argument

in #libertarianism5 years ago (edited)


I find these statements about 'representation' incredibly idiotic and a proof that you're illiterate. To begin with, what is that going to achieve? Absolutely nothing, other than impeding growth in the industry and prosperity. You could come up with infinite number of random criteria, that are completely unrelated, to call for equality in that respect. For example, proportionate number of people with long and short noses, proportionate number of tall and short people, proportionate number of men and women, proportionate number of blondes and brunettes, proportionate number of blacks and whites. What good is that going to achieve? Nothing. That's exactly the reason why the probability of having levelled outcome, for a particular random criterion of that sort, when you have a level playing field, tends to 0, because there are infinite such mutually exclusive criterion that you can come up with and assuming that they would all be equally probable, owing to their randomness, the number of employees at the company, if a single employee is counted only once, would add up to more than the actual strength. Having equal opportunities is what's important, and it doesn't guarantee that you'll have a proportionate representation based on a random criterion.
