Under capitalism, individuals choose who is successful and richer by the choices they make, although, of course, some inherit and some are hurt by pure bad luck. Under statism, there is still inequality, there are just fewer rich because those in power in the government choose who is wealthy. Inequality is a fact of life under statism, too. Regardless of the system, some will do better than others if only out of higher intelligence, greater discipline, more ingenuity, etc.
Equality is just another name for the Commie utopian lie . . . it will never ever exist in a real world.
I’ve always thought the notion of equality under Communism is really, really funny.
In practical and real terms, Mao and Stalin owned and controlled all property and every person in their realms, making them the wealthiest people who ever lived.
Just like Pharaoah of ancient Egypt, the Emperors of China, and the little fat weirdo in North Korea today.
