It always fails because it starts with the false proposition that we’re all equal. Races are equal, genders are equal, individuals are equal. When you start with a false proposition and base all your policies on that you’re going to end up with a disaster in your hands like the soviet union, cuba, N Korea, cambodia, venezuela.

And not just equal, but worse, 'SAME' (which is a little different). In a free society, one person might value leisure time and introspection more than satisfaction and money from their career, and that's fine. But to a leftist, disparity of outcomes on some arbitrary measurement, like say income, can only mean that somebody is getting screwed, and furthermore, probably getting screwed by the person on the other end of the disparity. Like if I work hard and make a lot of money (or a lot of whatever), that somehow that has been extracted unjustly from the person who has less, even though it might have to do with differing talent, differing effort, or different goals, all of which are just fine if you're not obsessed with thinking you're in control of everything. In a case where someone is actually harming someone else, then yes, of course we should step in and protect the vulnerable, but for some reason those type of things they never care about.

Another example, is there racial discrimination? You bet. Is it all white on black/brown/minority? Of course not. If someone of whatever color, white, black, brown, yellow whatever, is oppressed by someone else, then do all people who share characteristics with the oppressor somehow inherit his guilt? How stupid. Leftists' case is so weak that they had to come up with that lame, moronic idea so they could claim that people who have no prejudice and never discriminate against anyone are somehow still guilty. And these rubes buy it. What fools.

How can your moral compass be broken when you don’t have one in the first place?

PING!
