@Scoottie Exactly every human is different and an individual thus we look at people for their character not their identity/economic standing.
There are cultures that had this at their core until recently wheras political correctness started dividing people along these lines.
@Snakeykid1 People will always have hierarchies and disparity in resources and the accumulation of them is inevitable due to differences in circumstances. What you want is not to eliminate the distinction between rich and poor, but to make it so the rich do not form an aristocracy or a culture that promotes their own wealth and looks down upon everyone else. Think old vs new money.
@tamerlane@mrmeh@Ubernomad meritocracy is a lie used to trick the poor into slaving away at dead end jobs thinking they will become rich, there needs to be a good standard of life for all. RIch people contribute nothing to society as they make their money by stealing the value created by the work of the poor. Its not that making a utopia is possible or that it ever existed, but capitalist propaganda has taught you to believe that the current mediocrity we live in is the best there is and that we should never challenge the status quo out of the very possibility that we might mess up. America only has freedom for white landowning men as that is what all the founding fathers were. The proletariat has nothing to lose in a revolution as capitalism is only taking advantage of them
