I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.

doesn't rousseau basically say the same shit at the beginning of "discourse on inequality among men" or whatever where he's like as soon as there is a desirable trait there will be inequality because not everyone will have it

Equality is bourgeoise ideology. The differences between people will be more pronounced in communism.

Do you really think that a freeloading scumbag like Marx, that had ready access to a factory environment, and wrote extensively on the plight of the worker, and then never once deigned to walk out onto the production floor to talk to them, had the best intentions for the workers?

>Marx always attached an extreme importance to meeting and talking with working men. He sought the society of those who openly uttered their opinion to him, and spared him flattery.

"There was, however, an important fact which prevented Aristotle from seeing that, to attribute
value to commodities, is merely a mode of expressing all labour as equal human labour, and
consequently as labour of equal quality. Greek society was founded upon slavery, and had,
therefore, for its natural basis, the inequality of men and of their labour powers. The secret of the
expression of value, namely, that all kinds of labour are equal and equivalent, because, and so far
as they are human labour in general, cannot be deciphered, until the notion of human equality has
already acquired the fixity of a popular prejudice. This, however, is possible only in a society in
which the great mass of the produce of labour takes the form of commodities, in which,
consequently, the dominant relation between man and man, is that of owners of commodities. The
brilliancy of Aristotle’s genius is shown by this alone, that he discovered, in the expression of the
value of commodities, a relation of equality. The peculiar conditions of the society in which he
lived, alone prevented him from discovering what, “in truth,” was at the bottom of this equality."

How do you not know that? Liberty, equality and fraternity (brotherhood) was the catchphrase of the French revolution, which actually comes from the Freemasons.
