 What socialist measures specifically? And who decides that? Socialist measures place decision-making in the hands of a central authority, and the problem with this is that not everyone will agree. While some people benefit, others are harmed. True equality comes from allowing everyone the equal opportunity to help themselves, free from the interference of a central authority. A system based on voluntary decision-making ensures fairness. Equality of opportunity, rather than enforced equality of outcomes, respects personal agency and prevents inequality.
