For those who enjoy wrapping their Marxism in happy looking cartoons...

I'll repeat what I have posted before....

Here is a 2020 Democratic campaign video where Kamala explains the difference between equality and equity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4kowE_YIVw

Isn't it such a nice, "Together We Can" type of cartoon that paints a triumphant picture of "Equity" and how everybody reaches the same mountaintop at the end. Yay! We are all at the same place! Let's hold hands and sing "Kumbayah"!

However, if you put a little thought into what Harris is actually saying, it's not hard to see that the "Equity" ideology belies a really insidious Marxian philosophy. But first - in order to push the "Equity" agenda, the Democrats must first distort and get Americans to believe that our Constitutionally founding concept of "Equality" is not enough. Once the concept of "Equality" has been corrupted they can just scrap it and go straight to "Equity" instead.

Back to the video... The very first thing that Harris and Democrats do in this ad is misconstrue the meaning of "Equality". Either this is intentional (which I believe to be the case) or they have a fundamental misunderstanding of what "Equality" means under our Constitution and the American system. Harris states: "Equality suggests everyone should get the same amount". NO Kamala - "Equality" in the context of the US Constitution and the American system does not in any way, shape or form suggest that at all.

"Equality" in the American system has absolutely nothing to do with anyone being given, distributed, or having the same "amount" of anything material. Nor does "Equality" have anything to do with an individual's outcome(s) in life. "Equality" in terms of the US Constitution and the American system means equal access, equal opportunity, and equal treatment under the law. THAT. IS. ALL. It has nothing to do with getting "stuff", an equal outcome, or having an equal "amount" of any material item - be it money or Government cheese.

It is also abundantly clear that Harris and the Democrats have completely accepted that the US Constitutional foundation of "Equality" is not enough and that "Equity" will ensure some people are "given more" at the direction of Government to achieve the Government's desired outcome. They claim that the outcome they seek to be "we all end up at the same place". This "we all end up the same place" is in direct opposition to the US Constitutional concepts of self determination, individual liberty, and freedom.

This "Equity" concept the Democrats are pushing is at the very heart of the Marxian philosophy - that Government determines the outcome through the control and distribution of "stuff" to achieve what the Government deems to be an equal/just outcome. "Equity" is a collectivist ideology that is completely at odds with the US Constitution. Government forced "Equity" is not only an insidious philosophy that seeks to hide its corrupt nature in "nice" images and words, but is ultimately an evil idea that always ends in human misery.

"There's a big difference between equality and equity"

Do you not understand the difference between the two?***

Tell me.***

It's nice of you to admit you don't know.

So government should

Well that's quite a pivot from the quotation you just posted with

Oh I know the difference. One is Constitutional - the other is a hallmark

So you agree with Harris in the quotation you posted, cool.***

I do. She is a proponent of this discrimination.

Huh? All I have done is explain the differences between the two.***

Here's a more accurate one

Beautiful example of how leftist authorities think that equity is achieved

Everyone getting what they need is a worthy goal.

Being short is one of the last politically correct things you can taunt people

People may act equitably but that doesnt ensure equality.

Just her dog whistle for communism.***
