If the natural tendency of power is to grow, and if it can extend its authority and increase its resources only at the expense of the notables, it follows that its ally for all time is the common people. The passion for absolutism is, inevitably, in conspiracy with the passion for equality.
– Bertrand de Jouvenel
So when you hear ‘equality’, it is just another word for “totalitarianism’ for to have equality, Freedom must be taken away by the Absolutists (aka, Progressives). The only equality in Progressivism / socialism is equality of misery and not the Utopia they promise.
