” They also fail to recognize, not only differing degrees of intelligence, but differing mental aptitudes; which has the clear effect of actually retarding the opportunities for realization by some of the very groups they claim to be trying to help!”

The inherent fallacy of the collectivist egalitarian is in irreconcilable conflict with actually helping anyone at a disadvantage. The dogma prevents the development of anything unique to the individual. Exceptionalism of any type, is in conflict with the mantra. The very division of labor that has made possible almost all material human progress since the most primitive, is itself something they have a difficult time accepting--hence the endless appeals to jealousy & envy--to demanding progress rather than working for it, by developing whatever talents one has.
