In a free society, there will be inequality. In a truly equal society, nobody will be free. Edit: I cant believe people are arguing over a comment I made when I was 15 lmao

I love the idea, but the sad reality is that no government can be trusted to distribute money equally among all people.

I love how people use the term "equal" to represent forced total equality, then use it to describe Communism, when the most famous Communism quote is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", a sentence that literally says "no it's not equal"

This guy said, "corruption is rampant in countries like the former USSR, Venezuela, Vietnam and North Korea" (3:20). Does this guy not know that corruption in capitalist societies like the US, UK, etc., is not only ubiquitous but is also higher (in currency terms) than those countries he named? What's more, the level of corruption in the capitalist societies is often downplayed, concealing the true (higher) level of corruption in a country. For example, many US politicians, even tens of millions of Americans would not consider AIPAC lobbying US politicians for influence in Palestine Proper, to be corruption. Corruption in these capitalist societies is so widespread it's legalized (Citizens United).
