Do Socialists Use “Equality” to Make their Beliefs More Palatable?

Is "equality" used by socialists for political expediency in an attempt to make their agenda more palatable to the masses?

I ask because "from each according to ability, to each according to need" has NOTHING to do with "equality".

Some will work more.

Others will get more.

Oh, and it won't work anyway.

People's naive faith in top-down social engineering has probably been responsible for more suffering and death than anything else in history (save for "natural evil" - disease, disasters, etc.)

The numbers of deaths should really change Socialists’ minds... [DEATH BY GOVERNMENT](Truth: https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM)

They use a word game "booby-traps" in their propaganda. They start from the false premise that we are all equal, usually nobody is opposed to that, and then they tell you that since we are equal we deserve the same, regardless of things like effort or skills, that does not matter to them.

Just checking out some of your blogs. Thanks!

In spite of everything, yes.

Wow. Following. Keep the spirit of liberty alive!

Thanks man, I try, and I can assure you that sooner or later you will achieve.

Socialists are funny creatures. They want this equality of outcome, except for those in power because they are smarter and need more in order to rule over the rubes. The levels of cognitive dissonance are staggering.

That graph is about right. Especially in the socialist example, how the rich prosper in the short-term but then sink drastically as time goes on. Except the socialist 'administrators'. Their wealth skyrockets. In moral society, it's called 'theft'. In socialist society, it's called 'compensation'. @ironshield
