Understanding Kamala Harris's Neo-Marxist Concept
Kamala Harris's Definition of Equity
Kamala Harris has often spoken about the difference between equality and equity. She has defined equity as her policy of redistribution, which aims to ensure that everyone ends up in the same place. She has criticized the concept of equality, stating that it doesn't take into account that not everyone starts from the same place. In her view, equitable treatment means that everyone ends up in the same place.
The Flaws in the Concept of Equity
However, those who understand the intricacies of the economy know that this concept is flawed. It may seem appealing to those who feel disadvantaged due to their background or circumstances, but these policies can actually harm them the most.
The idea of everyone starting and ending in the same place results in everyone becoming poorer, with the exception of those in government who decide how everyone should start and end. These politicians become extremely wealthy.
Starting from the same place is unfair and ending in the same place is disastrous. Political imposition can result in families losing their hard-earned savings. When the government is given the power to provide for your needs, it also determines what your actual needs are. By destroying the incentives to save and prosper, the wealth created for social policies is also destroyed.
Kamala Harris's Endorsement of Neo-Marxism
When Kamala Harris speaks about equity, she is endorsing the neo-Marxist ideology, despite her recent claims of being a capitalist. Capitalism and free markets cannot exist when the government decides the start and end points.
Neo-Marxism simplifies the concept of equity, promoting the idea of equal start and end points. However, this eliminates the possibility of losing and winning, and halts progress. The theory argues that everyone should at least start at the same time and place, but this is also flawed. Those who start the race have already gone through a process of elimination, requiring talent and effort, and there is certainly no equality from the start.
The Impact of Equity Policies
The implementation of equity policies results in the poor and middle class becoming poorer, while government officials become rich. This is what has always happened in every socialist economy. A tyrannical government imposes its policies through repression, causing misery and impoverishment.
Demanding equality or equity always results in worse outcomes. Imposing equity destroys the motivation to improve and progress, eliminates meritocracy, and imposes the worst kind of inequality, which is the result of political privilege.
Allowing governments to decide the start and end points for all citizens is a form of tyranny. It is unrealistic to think that politicians know exactly what you need, when you need to start, and where to finish. They do not have more or better information about the needs of the entire economy and even less about everyone’s requirements. Therefore, when faced with inevitable discontent, the government will always resort to violence and oppression.
The Danger of Neo-Marxist Social Engineering
The concept of complete equality of outcome is impossible in a free society and requires a tyrannical and repressive state that controls every aspect of citizens’ lives. Harris's economic program is based on price controls, government intervention, and imposition. More free markets, increased competition, and increased reward for success are what America needs to foster prosperity. The true desperation of the American people will surface when they decide to experiment with neo-Marxist social engineering and socialism.
Despite her recent ambiguous moderation of her remarks, Kamala Harris continues to promote the idea of equality of outcome. Her vice-presidential candidate, Tim Waltz, has also reiterated these principles in public. It would be a mistake to assume that she won't implement these policies.
Bottom Line
The concept of equity as defined by Kamala Harris and the neo-Marxist ideology is a complex and contentious issue. While it may seem appealing on the surface, it has the potential to cause significant harm to the economy and the citizens it is intended to help. It is essential to understand the implications of these policies before endorsing them. What are your thoughts on this matter?
