so... you concede that the goal of socialism is equality? because you denied it before...
"So what exactly is wrong with making people more equal"
i didn't say there was anything wrong with trying to reduce the disparity between groups of people, but this must be tempered with the understanding that people individually are different and as a result there will never be a situation where there is an equality of outcomes across people and its mindbending stupid to think that could ever be the case without every person in a society being a slave
furthermore equality of outcomes is not in any way to a sensible person a smart goal to move towards... all of the significant advances in our society have occured because of the individual work of brilliant individuals across time (einstein, tesla, newton etc etc etc) who throught their efforts produced ideas and technology that moved society leaps forwards
if you set things up so restrictions reduce what people are free to achieve down to the common demoninator what happens to that advancement?
can you point out the socialist principles of jesus? beyond that a belief system can incorporate socialist principles without the idea of equality of outcomes that makes communism such a stupid and harmful ideology
