It's okay to recognize people are not equal.

@plungesponge That is the official Marxist-Leninist view. Are you in the CP?

I don't know if you're saying recognizing that people aren't equal is a Marxist view or that it isn't a Marxist view. Can you elaborate?

@plungesponge Marxists for the most part do not believe in equality. They believe some people are more valuable to the human race than others.

Many would argue you've got it backwards. Marxists believe everyone is equally entitled to share in what society has produced. It's capitalism that puts people into market competition so that the best takes all.

@plungesponge they are not identical, but should be equal.

@SW-User Of equal human worth, but not of equal talent, skill or even deserving of the same outcomes. Society has swung too far to the perspective of equality of outcomes rather than equality of opportunity

@plungesponge That's a clarification I can agree with 100%.
