I don't think human beings are really equal–and I don't know what could possibly remedy or solve this dilemma.
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas had this debate already, the former believes it was true under certain conditions ie "natural rights", and that was life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
>>780320>liberal idealismDoesn’t amount to anything more than a construct regardless if you add “natural” to it.
>>780311Communism is when you think everyone is the same.
>>780321You're right
You're not entitled to life, liberty, or happiness, in fact all of these things especially the latter two are quite relative
>>780321But this was kind of the excuse, for the colonials to secede from the British Empire, what other real right did they have to do this other than this abstraction, legally speaking
In truth, might makes right and that's all that matters, you can just dispense with the legalese formalities because it doesn't matter
>>780311literally does not matter
>>780311Equality refers to equal rights granted, not equal ability
They are not. They are superior to you, clanker.

>“If we take socialism, not as an economic theory, but as a living ideal,” Mr. Tugan declared, “then, undoubtedly, it is associated with the ideal of equality, but equality is a concept … that cannot be deduced from experience and reason.”
>This is the reasoning of a liberal scholar who repeats the incredibly trite and threadbare argument that experience and reason clearly prove that men are not equal, yet socialism bases its ideal on equality. Hence, socialism, if you please, is an absurdity which is contrary to experience and reason, and so forth!
>Mr. Tugan repeats the old trick of the reactionaries: first to misinterpret socialism by making it out to be an absurdity, and then to triumphantly refute the absurdity! When we say that experience and reason prove that men are not equal, we mean by equality, equality in abilities or similarity in physical strength and mental ability.
>It goes without saying that in this respect men are not equal. No sensible person and no socialist forgets this. But this kind of equality has nothing whatever to do with socialism. If Mr. Tugan is quite unable to think, he is at least able to read; were he to take the well-known work of one of the founders of scientific socialism, Frederick Engels, directed against Dühring, he would find there a special section explaining the absurdity of imagining that economic equality means anything else than the abolition of classes. But when professors set out to refute socialism, one never knows what to wonder at most—their stupidity, their ignorance, or their unscrupulousness. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1914/mar/11.htm >>780380no clanker ever called me a faggot
