There Is Only One Form Of Equality Worth Fighting For




The first Monday of August is a Civic holiday in Ontario, in honour of Lt.Gov John Graves Simcoe, who, in 1793, passed the British Empire's first anti-slavery bill, 40 years before it was abolished in the rest of the Empire. 

One may celebrate however much one sees fit, or unfit, but nevertheless there is a difference between emancipation and equality. 

Black people are more likely to be treated unjustly than members of other minority, more likely to be suspended or expelled from school, to be carded or questioned by police, to face unemployment rates higher than the national average, earn less money than their fellow workers who are white for the same job and 20 times more likely than whites to be shot dead by police. Yet blacks still demand equality with whites, as if whites have equality with each other. 

What they mean is equality under the law which is the law of the capitalist class which exists to protect their property ownership and which, by its very nature, pits worker against worker. 

There is only one form of equality worth fighting for - a society where all will stand equal in relation to the tools of production and distribution of goods.
