well that's inevitable which is amusingly what most people who pander socialist and communist ideology don't get:

 

for there to be any system that reduces inequality there has to be people who design and implement that system, which ultimately leads to two classes: the rulers and the ruled

its why any attempt to put communism into place always fails to help the average person because the only practical way it can be done is with a large oppressive government suppressing everyone down to the same level

 

what any person with sense realises is that the best system would be one where everyone gets a fair shot at advancing as far as their potential allows while also helping those who have problems within reason

 

if you ask me communist ideology was developed by the elite as a way to trick stupid people into enriching the elite at the expense of everyone else

I fully agree with you. So far free market capitalism is our best shoot.

And inequality isn't the problem, poverty is. I don't care if Bill Gates have Billions or Trump rules USA as long as I earn enough to have confort and pleasures. So not fearing to die of famine, disease, violence and also achieve some luxury is a lot better than everybody equally bad. USA have this, but left wing try to screw that.

yeah and that's why i'm saying we need to provide equality of opportunity and understand that equality of outcomes is an undesirable standad to have for what should be obvious reasons
