No, I don't believe this is to be enforced ala leftist principles, what Im saying is that it is inevitable that some people are born with a predisposition to a certain type of skill, some people are intelligent but physically weak, some are physically strong but not deep thinkers.

Some people will inevitably rise to the top, Plato realized this and believed that the egalitarianism, though often good intentioned (which is what comes from some leftists who believe they are doing the right thing by forcing equality)is also going against nature and thus does not work.

Leftists and liberals are usually idealists, trying to make everyone fit, using the government to further this misguided view of a utopia in which everyone is equal not only in rights but in position and stature. I believe that there is a disparity between all people caused by nature and by personal choice, some will be better than others, those who rise to the top deserve it. This is in no way a liberal view, possibly in the tradition of a classical liberal, but not a modern socialist liberal. A modern liberal would say that this disparity was caused not by genetic differences but by society and thus can be changed through social programs backed by the government. I am completely against this idea, instead Im am much more of a realist and basically believe we should let the chips fall as they may.

I agree this is what a liberal would say, but that is not what they think. Liberals are very racist but need to project this dirty thought onto others. They also think that if you say a lie enough times it can become the truth. Liberals are convinced of their genetic superiority, they think they won the genetic lottery, and are in love with themselves but must constantly reaffirm their justification for this love.

Plato was an idealist. He started with ideas and worked his way back towards reality. Plato is the prototypical liberal.
