Thank you for linking the Wikipedia article on egalitarianism, I hope someone younger finds it useful.

Egalitarianism is a wonderful thing. But unfortunately, it has nothing to do with what the original post was addressing. Treating everyone right of you as "them" and lumping them all into the same, dehumanised category of being inferior, stupid and wrong is the opposite of egalitarian thought.

I already addressed the status quo/inequality in my original reply. You are currently doing the broken record thing of repeating the same point again as if it needs to be said. Yes, conservativism maintains a lot of bad things! We have already discussed this.

Luxemburg, was proven wrong by history.

Just a whole lot of nothing.

I hope someone younger finds it useful.

Because older people don’t need equal rights?

You veered from the original post. Not me.

Is Nazi apologia, and dangerous.

Just because someone doesn’t cowtow to your circular logic doesn’t mean they are wrong.

One. Give me one example of how capitalism has been reformed— and lasted.

Because younger people will be the audience for a high school wikipedia article link. While I'm sure it's reflexive for some to check the basics on Wikipedia, others thankfully may not be in that particular educational stage, as this discussion wouldn't be valid otherwise.

My comment on it's relevance stands, I don't think I veered at all.

I'm depressed to see that you invoked Godwins law with such enthusiasm. Please don't ever reference nazi apologia to me in the same breath as justification for dehumanising others. It's in acutely poor taste and education.

There is nothing circular about my logic that I can see, and youve not highlighted any. I've accused you of speaking the same rhetoric despite it being addressed which might qualify?

Luxemburg is proven wrong by there never being a revolution, the reformation and lasting are a separate discussion.

I waited 2 days for that ? Disappointed. You don’t impress me with your veiled social dominance.

Then my goal has been achieved. Thanks for the discussion.
