I care only for equality of opportunity but equality of results, which is what you're talking about, is an impossibility and obsession with equality of results leads to left wing authoritarianism.

Agreed re: "equality of results". But seems to me there still needs to be some moderating factors, otherwise aren't you basically just describing yourself as a "social Darwinist" (aka, "survival of the fittest and devil take the hindmost")? And BTW, if so, isn't that really just saying that the strongest always
deserve to be in control?
