Equality Sought

 

I have long vehemently opposed Progressive attempts to overthrow the American System and Way because they seek raw power and totalitarian revolution, not relief for the poor and disenfranchised as they claim and lie about. Lying is their cunning way of life to dupe the credulous, emotional masses into accepting their project as proposed.

 

The old socialist theory was that the community was what counted, and that all need to be equal, and none are allowed to stand out as individuals to make more money or gather power and wealth to themselves as members of a higher social and economic class. None could individually get ahead or strike out on one’s own.

 

American culture traditionally has clashed with that theory: here is has been the tradition that free markets and individual initiative, hard work, and liberty, will provide significant material rewards for those that acquire them honestly by hard work, honest but smart effort—in effect, merited material personal success.

 

 

Still, we classical liberals must address the issues of inequality, injustice and the pain naturally caused by a class system. We must offer the masses relief from these by products of our capitalist system so that the people will not seek socialist relief anymore.

 

I think I know how the American Way can be preserved with inequality, injustice, and hierarchies—and the pain they deliver to the masses distributed along the class structure—minimized. It seems that the Pareto law where 20% of the workers end up with 80% of the wealth is a natural law, or close to it.

 

I propose a way to beat the Pareto Law of distribution. We can alter nature and history as Mavellonialists. First, we raise a future generation of children to be individuators-anarchist supercitizens. They will, on average, achieve upper middle-class rank, power, and material success by their merited achievement as workers and owners in our free market constitutional republic.

 

Where and when 80% or higher of these adults, in their generation,  are successful and very free and prosperous, there will only be  a few citizens who are very poor, or lower middle class. And the few millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires at the top will have great wealth, but almost no political power.

 

This great, mass society of upper middle class, empowered, feisty individuators and supercitizens will be so fulfilled, happy, wealth, powerful and in charge, that any class system will be much reduced and much less a factor.

 

Such just statesman-like citizens, will voluntarily enjoy their freedom, power and wealth, but will suffer no injustice to be done unto them, and will self-restricting from being unjust towards anyone.

 

This new social, economic, and political reality will minimize the size, scope, depth and pervasiveness of hierarchies and groupist-living patterns. With this conscious, unnatural way of having merit be near universal, then the Pareto law can be stood on its head with 80% or higher having enough money, power, freedom, and justice that these masses will not want or desire socialist revolution to get their justice and equality needs met.

 

Then individuals rising out of the group with inequality vanquished and merit being unleashed, without the caste system and group-living that has always kept unsophisticated citizens subjugated and owned by the state their ethnic group, their family, their religious tradition, can live in a just, prosperous, free society based on merit, but with inequality and injustice mostly having disappeared.
