True equality is a myth that punishes hard work and ignoring the human nature. We should focus on helping the poor and providing safety net, not destroying capitalism.

Let’s be realistic about human psychology: humans did not evolve to be selfless saints who work tirelessly for a massive, faceless collective. We are naturally driven by self interest, competition, and a desire to improve our own lives.

Capitalism is the only economic system that works with human nature instead of fighting it. When you remove those individual incentives in the name of total equality, society stalls. Human nature dictates that if the hardest working person gets the exact same reward as someone doing the bare minimum, people will eventually stop trying. Productivity collapses, and everyone suffers.

But of course this doesn't mean we abandon the poor. We absolutely must find ways to raise the baseline, build strong safety nets, and help lower income people live better. But we have to do it within a capitalist framework. IMO, trying to solve inequality by replacing capitalism with socialism is a utopian fantasy that ignores basic human biology.
