What’s the Difference Between Equity and Equality?
It's not an either/or proposition. All our “isms” see and show the world from the smallest lens of the life telescope. And all those systems are reducing language to its lowest common denominator. Communism thinks in “equality” as shown on the image on the left: same thing for everyone Capitalism thinks more about “equity” (based on merit versus circumstance, flawed there too: who is the arbitrator of “merit”?). Christian “ity” (the quality of being a Christian) views… both as equally essential to being a human being. When we cross that bridge, we'll be home free.
