What Equity Really Means, and Why It’s Marxist
The left’s ultimate goal is to dismantle our capitalist society, built on individualism and meritocracy, and replace it with a society driven by "equity"—a system where the collective reigns supreme, and private property is abolished.
Too often, people mistake “equity” for “equality,” thinking it’s about fairness for everyone. But fair in what way?
Equality means equality of opportunity—everyone competes, and the best person wins.
Equity, however, means equality of outcomes—the forced redistribution of resources to ensure everyone reaches the same level, erasing any disparities. Or, as Marx would put it, “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.”
Equity is about destroying hierarchies. The left believes capitalism has structured society into oppressor/oppressed hierarchies, where the oppressors will always have more resources and opportunities, perpetually exploiting the oppressed.
“White supremacy”? It’s the belief that systemic racism (the “system” being capitalism) allows white people more resources than black people, creating a racial hierarchy.
“The Patriarchy”? It’s the notion that the gender binary, allegedly constructed by capitalism, gives men more resources than women, forming a gender hierarchy.
“Cisheteronormativity”? It’s the claim that society favor those who conform to the norm, granting them more resources than those who identify as “queer,” thus creating a normative vs. queer hierarchy. Queer activists call for the annihilation of capitalism as a solution.
The aim of “equity” is to flatten every existing hierarchy, making everyone equally rich and equally poor. This demands the abolition of private property because unequal ownership is seen as an inequity. All resources must be shared by everyone.
To achieve equity, the only solution is to overthrow our current U.S. government and replace it with Marxism.
Under equity, individualism is obliterated because no one is allowed to excel. Meritocracy is erased because it creates hierarchies.
This means the death of the American dream.
So, every time you hear the word “equity,” think “Marxism.” It’s not about fairness or justice—it’s about communism.

Karlyn, I always appreciate these straightforward definitions of the "code words" the Left uses. Sometimes it's hard to follow the "word salad" of what is being said, but the point is clear once we know what these terms really mean. There is plenty at stake with politics today and the upcoming election. We need your work more than ever. By the way, I think you've approached some media outlets in the past to share your messages and they did not share in your mission, but might this be a good time to try again? It is rather evident to many of us that the Socialists are in full force this election year. If you need us to "prod" some of these outlets, I'm glad to send emails to the places I subscribe.
