Turd Flinging Monkey's Political Trichotomy
1 Freedom
2 Equality
3 Stability
Not everyone shares the same values in life when it comes to politics and money there are three common values that are mutually exclusive. You can not have 100% of all three at the same time or even 100% of two out of three at the same time but you can mix and match.
Complete economic freedom can not co exist with complete equity because the freedom to make different choices will result in unequal wealth
By Economic Equality I do not mean Equality of opportunity in the context of this article. Equality of opportunity is closer to Economic freedom than Economic Equality but not neccessarily the same as Economic freedom. Economic freedom may not result in equality of opportunity because having more money gives people more opportunities to do business. Equality of opportunity is not the same as economic equality because not all people choose to live up to their maximum economic potential with the opportunity they have. If two identical twins both have the same economic opportunity and one person works "smarter" and also puts in more time and effort to making money they will not have equal amounts of money in a monetary society with equality of opportunity.
Some people make a distinction between Economic Equality and Equity. If you gave every one the exact set of the same food items with the exact same quantities that add up to the exact same number of calories that would be economic equality in terms of giving food but would not be equity. Equity is based on giving according to "needs" where as equality in this context is giving identical amounts irregardless of needs. In the case of equity you might give people with a higher metabolism more food and those with a lower metabolism less food. Perhaps you could have both equality and equity if you gave everyone an equal amount of food that is based on the caloric expenses of the individual with the highest metabolism in the group such that both everyones "needs" were met and also everyone was given an equal amount. If you gave every individual in a group the same amount of food equal in calories to the average mean caloric expense per person in that group you would have equality but not equity because the "needs" of the individuals with above average caloric expense would not be met and they might start starving if they are not obese and not spending calories with "unnecessary" work (not needed for survival) that they could choose to reduce. If the individuals have different metabolisms and everyone is given an equal amount of non perishable food items that are sufficient to meet the needs of even the individual in the group with the highest metabolism and both economic equality and economic equity is achieved in terms of how much food each individual in a group is given then those with a lower metabolism would be able to save more non perishable food items than those with a higher metabolism and so even though economic equality would be achieved in how much food people are given there would still be economic inequality in the amount of extra food saved for an emergency each individual has. If everyone was given equal income, people would still have unequal savings if they have unequal spending. It is very much difficult then to have economic equality because equality in all things can not exist to force equality to exist in one measureable criteria might remove it in another. To make things simpler when people say they value economic equality in many cases they may simply mean they value government "welfare" programs and very rarely means they value two measurable economic quantities being equal.
Anarcho Capitalism is economic freedom without economic equity/equality
Statist Communism is economic equity/equality without economic freedom
Negative income tax is Partial Economic Freedom plus Partial economic Equality
Negative income tax is Universal Basic Income plus Flat income tax without any other government programs to help the poor (other than Universal Basic Income) and without corporate welfare and without tax deductions
Social Security is Partial Economic Equality/Equity plus Partial Economic Stability
The elderly who have already made a fortune and do not want to lose it often prefer the economic stability of maintaining that fortune even if it means a lack of economic freedom for the youth and a lack of economic equality/equity for the youth to receive the same benefits as the elderly. The elderly who have spent their fortune and are no longer in good mental or physical health to earn more often prefer economic equality/equity compared to the healthier youth who have more earning potential through labour (by which I mean the elderly receiving equal or equitable pay compared to the youth without the elderly doing equal or any [future] labour compared to the youth)
Since the three values are mutually exclusive in their fullest forms people who value economic freedom find those who value economic equality/equity at the expense of economic freedom to be problematic when such indivuduals support violent means to equalize wealth.
A simple solution would be for those who support economic freedom to separate from those who support economic equality/equity so they do not quarrel due to conflicting values.
Those who support economic freedom would have no problem allowing those who support economic equality/equity to have their own commune where everything is distributed equally/equitably so long as they are not forced to join the commune. Those who support economic freedom have no problem with those who support economic equality/equity living out their values so long as those who support economic freedom are not required to live out the values of economic equality/equity.
But often those who support economic equality/equity do not want to permit those who support economic freedom to leave and live in a separate community from them because then they could not take their stuff. Those who support economic equality/equity often have a problem with allowing those who support economic freedom to live out their values because then they could not take their stuff.
