There is a basic fact that explains why any attempt to enforce equality as an outcome of life must always inevitably involve more despotic control, injustice, and force than any system that allows for difference. And it is the fact that neither the world, nor people, are in fact in any way fundamentally. All places are not equally interchangeable for all places, all people are not fundamentally interchangeable for all people. There are enormous differences that make some places rare and useful for one purpose or another, and there are just as many enormous differences in people.
The only way you can achieve equality of outcome is by eliminating difference in identity and constitution. And since difference in identity and constitution are fundamental, essential, endemic qualities of both people and the world itself, you’re essentially waging war on the very nature of reality. It becomes fundamentally necessary to suppress and correct for all variations in humanity and its conditions.
You’re going to have to remove the effects of differences in circumstances, choice, temperament, and ability. In other words, you’re going to have to remove freedom, history, home, and humanity. You’re not only going to remove the right of some to succeed in excess of the average, but the right of others to fail in excess of the average.
You’re going to deny people the right to agency, to make choices and take actions that result in anything other than the prescribed results. In the name of justice, freedom must be proscribed. Differences must be denied. All of humanity and all the world must be reduced down to an interchangeable gray mush of no form or color or character or efficacy. All in the name of justice, of equality.
And that’s gonna take some doing.
