Misconceptions of Left vs. Right (Part 3): Equality vs. Hierarchy

[Chris]

I'm sure I looked at the first two parts but this third struck me as interesting for the implications of hierarchy for each stance on equality.

Misconceptions of Left vs. Right (Part 3): Equality vs. Hierarchy

Both the left and the right claim to support equality, but their definitions differ.

The right tends to advocate for equality of opportunity, while fully acknowledging the natural differences between each person. The left tends to advocate for equality of outcome. This second definition is what is referred to as equality in this dichotomy, being the antithesis of hierarchy.

...The Egalitarian Left

If we judge leftist ideologies like Marxism by their vision of an ideal society and not by the inevitable results, then we see the most extreme form of an egalitarian society, where nobody is supposed to have any legitimate authority or command over another, even in a voluntarily-organized arrangement. And modern leftists are strongly advocating for a breakdown of any hierarchical system, some even going so far as to call for the abolition of gender.

...The Hierarchical Right

Considering that the right generally opposes everything mentioned earlier that the left supports, that places them in favor of hierarchy. The right is more in favor of established systems that provide structure, and are more in favor of traditional gender roles. Parts of the right (especially the modern right) desire a system of meritocracy and equality of opportunity. Each individual begins where they are, and works to rise higher in the capitalist system. Of course, to rise higher implies that a hierarchy is in place to rise through....

Explains well why I am a man of the right.

The Rodents pretend to support equality of outcome, and histirically, yes, they have done amazing things to achieve it.

But even with murdering 200,000,000 people in the last century, their goal of equity on death hasn't been universally achoeved.

But they are still trying.

Only "200, 000, 000"? You sure? I counted for days and ended up with 200, 000, 003. Dang dang dang. Gotta start all over

The real number is well over a billion, if you count their ore-birth murders of babies globally.

Then there are the hundreds if millions killed by their absurd ban on DDT, the AIDS epidemic that has killed so many, the rise in deaths due to drug resistant TB, the people they've slaughtered by deliberate famine in Africa.

Yeah, 200 mil is merely Thise people they gassed, shot tortured starved, marched to death, etc.

Would you be happier is the number was a mere 100,000,000?
