RE: Liberty vs. Equality

in #politics7 years ago

The only equality that must exist in a free society is that of opportunities, without discrimination of any kind other than capacity.

The current problem is that many people, like you say, seek equality in the results, that is socialism, and as such slavery.

I fully agree with everything you said so I leave my upvote, resteemed, and I follow you, greetings.

I wouldn't agree that socialistic elements (social-security, medicare, free public resources) necessarily mean 'slavery' but I fully agree on equality of opportunities. Many demographics, races, regions, etc. suffer from poorer conditions and may have to work harder to achieve those opportunities but they should be there.

Yes, but free health, public education and all that welfare state is not really free, or do doctors work there for free? no, someone must pay for it, and those are the people who ride the full weight of the welfare state, they are practically the slaves of the 21st century.
