RE: Why Inequality on Steemit is a Good Thing!
Please, also you are welcome to explain what you mean by "forced" equality as it sounds illogical and paradoxical. If something is forced, it cannot be equal as it requires some position of power to enforce it. That means that someone has more power than others hence it is unequal itself.
Well... thats more of a snarky term for 'redistribution of wealth'. A progressive income tax is an attempt at forced equality, but as you point out it is impossible to accomplish for anyone who is looking objectively.
I think you just defined the problems of socialist policies in a simple paragraph :)
He is talking about the idiocy of Leninist/Stalinist Marxism.
But let's all remember that Marx was an anarchist, and that his goal was to fight the state. I consider myself a Marxist, in that I buy into, deeply, the vision for the future Marx espoused. That does not mean that I support all of Marx's ideas, because life has changed a great deal since then.
Most likely scenario with no third world war: tech makes living well so cheap that all of us become rich.
