Equality needs totalitarianism to be effective, since individuals, beliefs, ideas, and groups are by their nature unequal in one aspect or another. Yes, we are born equal, but after that, it’s a combination of a crap shoot and your own effort.
On the other side, there is liberty. Liberty leads to unequal outcomes because individuals, beliefs, ideas, and groups are by their nature unequal in one aspect or another. Yes, we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, but how and if we get to live freely and express those rights is a combination of a crap shoot and your own effort.
I’m choosing liberty.
An excellent choice! But, be careful; some will accuse you of not being conservative enough.
I dont think we are born equal. How can that be? People are not equally tall, or equally intelligent, or equally hairy.
A civilised society accords us equality in law, but thats not the same thing as “natural” rights.
