(Stephen) High levels of socio-economic inequality may not be an ideal situation but such "unequal sharing of blessings" is far better than the "equal sharing of misery" that socialism promotes.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 also purported to bring true liberty for the mankind contending that all previous codes of liberty were ideologies of the ruling classes. Being based on a utopian concept of governance far removed from human nature, the Communist state required massive governmental restrictions to achieve its misguided goal of socio-economic equality. The so-called struggle for liberty eventually failed precisely because it was NOT a struggle for achieving "equality before law" and instead of requiring the runners to start from the same starting line, it attempted to ensure a dead-heat at the finishing line.

History has time and again proved that only those societies have prospered in which no class, race or group of people are considered "more equal" than others.
Restrictions on personal and economic liberty, even for supposedly noble causes have proved counter-productive. Hence, it is imperative that we jealously guard our freedoms and strive for true equality before law for everyone; the fight for liberty is a never-ending struggle.
