There is only equality before God

I really really like that image

Equality of opportunity or outcome?

Everyone in this country has equal opportunities to make something of themselves, socialists want everyone to make the same even if they put no effort into trying.

>Everyone in this country has equal opportunities to make something of themselves

Yes, you and the billionaires son totally have equal opportunities

Why do communists feature Stalin and Mao in communist propaganda, even when they claim it wasn't true communism?

Your value as a human life is equal to all others. Your value as an asset to society is not. If you're all equal then you're not free, and I don't think it's a stretch to say the USA was founded on the ideals of freedom before the ideas of equality.

Liberty is far more important an ideal.

Correct. Your problem is that, based on bringing up billionaires/money, you seem to be materialistic, which of course is a Marxist doctrine.

I would argue for a more spiritual and less materialistic view of equality. I think the founding fathers would agree with me more so than your Marxist view.

>equality means some people have to give up their money and some people get to take their money

Wew

Because they don't are stupid.

Old texts are like a Rorsach test. The language is so old and can be interpreted in so many ways that everyone sees whatever the fuck they want to see in them.

In this case, a commie faggot is using the US constitution as an apology of egalitarianism.

B-because they really, reallt believed in communism even though it didn't worked out for them! Remember, is great in theory but bad in practice!

Yet they want everyone else to convert to their system. Peacefully, of course.

If men are free then they are not equal.

>if you work hard to secure a good life for your children, then you are a privileged piece of shit and should have all your money taken away

Ok

>Everyone in this country has equal opportunities to make something of themselves
seriously you are so brainwashed by capitalist propaganda you even believe horseshit like that

>billonaires
>ever working hard in their life
keep believing this shit goy

Are you referring to equal opportunity or equal results?

>y-you're just brainwashed!! logic only makes sense to you because the c-capitalists!!!

Uh yeah, at some point, the money had to come from somewhere at some point. Money is either earned or inherited. But before it can ever be inherited, it has to be earned at some point.

>when the brainwashed accuses others of being brainwashed

money they earned in most of cases come either from various financial instruments(which don't produce any true value it's just leeching off common people, possible due to a broken capitalist system which puts banks and finances in private hands), exploitation of workers(who somehow aren't allowed to benefit from profits of the company they work for, because the top positions secure them for mainly for themselves) or through tax evasion which means not returning the due share to society thanks to which functioning of the company is possible in the first place.

>which don't produce any true value it's just leeching off common people

Financial instruments produce value, you're just too fucking dumb to understand it, sideways malta.

Those are all assumptions. Pessimistic assumptions, which you have made because you've already made up your mind that socialism is better. Here are a few points for you:

>Workers are treated very well these days. The book "The Jungle" is no longer accurate.
>Nobody is forcing the workers to work for a specific company. They can look for a different job any time they want if the company is shitty.
>There are plenty of MASSIVE, insanely wealthy companies that are socialist like you (Google, Apple, Microsoft). They are constantly shovelling money at the socialist cause. Bonus: they're doing it because socialism benefits the rich more than capitalism

Protestant work ethic.

The American Constitution states "All men are created equal" as a reason for The Government to recognize the unalienable rights of a human being in regards to Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness.
That is all, nothing about Affirmative Action and Diversity quotas.
That line actually implies that since you're born equal if you end up with a shitty life you're to blame for it and it would be a great crime and undermine the concept of Liberty if The Government were to not allow you to make such mistakes.

There is also The Bill of Rights.
It's worth noting, they're Civic Rights not Human Rights. Which means they're rights guarnteed to you for being American. Which means that "All men are created equal" IS NOT the reasoning behind civic rights. Which means, the current concept of "equality/equity" is in CONFLICT with The American Constitution, not supported by it.

except due to the incentive structure every company ends up shitty because shitty gets ahead

except that via inheritance all men are not created equal. who your parents are is the biggest predictor of your personal success.

A predictor, but NOT a guarantee. Because rich men lose fortunes and poor men gain them. That is what America guarantees.That they will not interfere with that process.

If "shitty gets ahead" then explain the fact that Google, the second biggest company in the world, incessantly shills for Democrat candidates. So does Apple, and Microsoft, and Walmart, and BP, and Amazon. Explain the fact that Mark Cuban, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and pretty much every other insanely rich motherfucker in the world is a democrat.

Here's the real mindfuck: you don't need to explain it because you are already 100% right: shitty DOES get ahead. So now put 2 and 2 together: If shitty gets ahead, and everyone on top is pro-socialism.... then doesn't that mean socialism benefits the shitty?

So what's the solution? Why shouldn't people be allowed to work hard to leave a nice inheritance for their children? Are you saying that should be illegal or what?

You're thinking of the Declaration of Independence, not the US Constitution. The DoC is not a legally binding document in any way.

They're too dumb to understand that what the rich wants is to burn the bridges they had to cross to become rich, that way nobody will be able to threaten their position.

No better way to burn bridges than socialism.

Unless you did genetic engineering, and put machines to raise them, no two men will be born equal.

And even then it's not guaranteed.

because democrats are bought and sold as much as republicans; just by different groups.

No, everyone does not. If you grew up in a ghetto, you're highly likely to remain an impoverished ghetto dweller.

There is very little class mobility.

>Communism

>Equality

we do tho

Only as long as they're light-skinned.

>Muh superstitious fairy tale g*d

Maybe it does produce some value in the end but if not regulated financial institutions often just end up extorting people's money.
>>Workers are treated very well these days. Workers' situation got better since the Industrial Revolution, and that's almost single-handedly achieved by socialism, but it doesn't mean that there isn't room to improve anymore. In my country we don't have strong labour unions and labour rights aren't very well protected. A lot of people occupy high offices despite their lack of qualifications and competence because of their connections. That makes the economy as a whole inherently flawed.
>>There are plenty of MASSIVE, insanely wealthy companies that are socialist like you (Google, Apple, Microsoft).
Literally stopped reading there if you think any big international IT company is actually "socialist" then you are completely wrong. They earn billions just by avoiding taxes. They refuse to pay the share.

It was written for high test white men,

beta fags, woman and shitskins do everything in their power to undermine it. Which only proves what a mistake it was to make it so generalized.

Y-yeah!!! We need to solve the white problem!!! And then every brown person will finally, instantly reveal their secret potential and become rich!!! Even though they already outnumber the white people, they're still defintiely being oppressed!!!!!! IMPEACH DRUMBLPFTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>equality
Prisoners in labor camp are equal in outcome and opportunity.

>poland.png
>commie
kek

Find me a law tht proves this

Those companies may not be as "socialist" as you want them to be, but one thing is for sure: They sure as fuck want socialism to take over. They pay enormous amounts of money to democrats and other socialist candidates. That is a simple fact.

Democrats have nothing to do with socialism. Democrats currently are led by corporatists, and just like almost all the so called "centre-left" in the world just follow hawkish neo-liberal capitalism. They exploit the people.

Equality of opportunity you fucking subhuman nigger.

Which regulation is preventing me from being extorted by financial institutions?

Be precise.

companies in the US pay one of the highest if not the highest taxes in the world. in addition to that they stimulate local economies. you're delusional/ignorant if you think that companies/rich people don't do anything to benefit the country or "earn" their wealth

Top fucking kek. You're backed into a corner, so you pull the oldest liberal trick in the book: You deny your own beliefs.

>d-democrats have nothing to do with socialism!! that's not REAL socialism!!! they're d-d-different from the TRUE leftists

Just fuck off.

>They sure as fuck want socialism to take over.
Christ dude do you know how actual socialism look like? You call Democrats socialists just because they support universal healthcare? You realize that by global standards Democrats are barely left leaning at all? And economically they are right wing.

No one in Microsoft supports giving away their billions for country's infrastructure and education.
There is no equality of opportunity if you have to pay for education and healthcare.

There's no equality of opportunity if I have to pay my education and also yours.

See: Fucking pathetic.

>companies in the US pay one of the highest if not the highest taxes in the world.
So how come tax revenue as % of GDP in the US is so low? 2x lower than in an average Western European country.
US Democrats have nothing to do with any socialism at all. Only Sanders call him a socialist while he actually isn't.

Socialist parties are SPD(Germany), Labour(UK) or SAP(Sweden). They are much more left leaning compared to Democrats which are basically centre.

You don't have a socialist party in the US.

Find me 1 serious source classifying US Democratic Party as socialist.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)

As I said there may be some politicians which call themselves socialist(Sanders) which are actually more soc-dem but they are in minority. Majority of the party is neo-liberal.

We're no longer in the era of "Niggers can't enter this building." You will not find "hard" racism anymore, just de facto racism.

Whites are still the overwhelming majority. Don't be so afraid of other skin colors, sweetie.

Just because they don't want to turn a country upside down from one day to the other doesn't mean they're not pushing for socialism.

Obamacare alone is almost impossible now to get rid of, and is a step towards socialism, which requires more and more steps, because now that you've told people they can get insurance only when they need it, insurances must be controlled by the state, etc.

Sanders would push more, then leftists would want more leftism because they're always disappointed, and vote for sandersV2, and so and so.

It's how it went down in Europe, it's how you go from 10% average tax to 45% in less than 70 years.

save it. it's all yours my friend

What's Sanders pushing for are just some moderate social-democratic postulates. Universal healthcare is a standard in most of the developed countries in the world, the US being the single exception, and no one classifies it as a socialist policy anymore.

And for fucks sake, corporatist faction, led by Perez, is prevailing in the Democratic Party.

You can keep claiming that they're not socialist, but evidence proves that the US is more socialist now that in the past, like if you pretend that just because we're going downhill slowly doesn't mean we're not going downhill.

Sanders have advocated for price controls, for debt elimination, in favor of money devaluation, "social democrat" my asshole.
