Thinking over this story independent of a socialist view, if everyone was made equal, we would potentially eliminate the incentive to work hard and achieve bigger goals in life. People will have nothing to yearn for and thus nothing to keep themselves motivated. Not to be mistaken as a promoter of the inequality that exists because of people’s race, skin color or gender, I believe that if everyone were equal, it would change the world and not in a very favorable kind of way.
