The only way "equality of outcome" can be achieved is by legislation (force), in effect the government decides who will work what job, what was done in Soviet countries that all collapsed.

If the U.S. continues to go this direction, it cannot compete with countries like modern-day China, Japan and South Korea.

Who is proposing that?

Don’t just say “The Dumbocrats” or AOC. Examples please.

Every affirmative action or diversity policy is initiated for equality of outcome. It is a dangerous and racist policy.

If you swap "outcome" with "opportunity" in your first sentence, and then delete your second sentence, you'll have a coherent post.

Everyone has the same opportunity in this country. What minorities seek are special privileges.
There are no rules or laws that help white people yet we have laws that specifically advantage minorities.
Feel free to show me a right that minorities don’t have? Or just go back to writing snarky limp posts.

This is what conservatives actually try to make themselves believe.

Heck, we're absolutely NOT competing with China, Japan and South Korea as it is, so quite a pointless viewpoint made in the above. For starters, LG big screen TVs are not made in the USA. No one I can think of wants to go back to the ways of the former and failed USSR.

Who cares whether the economy grows? The problem with enforcing "equality of outcome" is that it's regressive; it's misanthropic; it results in the extinction of the human race.


You can't take from the productive to subsidize the less-productive without destroying production.

It was coherent and correct. No one on the Left wants equality of opportunity. They want what the right produces, and they want it transferred to their supporters.

Wrong. Diversity programs are NOT initiated for equality of outcome. They are initiated to impose UNEQUAL harm on white people. They are imposed to get rid of white people.
