You can build a political system based upon individual liberty or a system based upon social equality. You can’t have both. Personal liberty means that people are free to fail or free to succeed. Human beings are not equal in abilities, wisdom, or birth. In order to construct a political system based upon equality, you must have a strong centralized government that controls the production and distribution of resources. It must take from those that have and give it to those that do not have. The government determines what the individual needs and how much he needs.
