Many people claim that Marxism supports "Equality of Outcome". But, does Marxism really aims to make everyone equal from all aspects? Does it really want to establish an abstract equality, doing away with ALL hierarchies? Do Marxists really not acknowledge the uniqueness of every individual and want to make everyone the same? Basic Marxist literature suggests that these accusations are completely WRONG. Marxist view of "equality" is a very precie, materialist one - unlike the liberal view of abstract equality.
