There’s a radical difference between the pursuit of equality of opportunity and pursuit of equality of condition. Neither has ever been achieved anywhere. I’d agree that the pursuit of equality of condition is always repugnant.

I also think we’ve all benefited from society’s clumsy, well-intentioned attempts to help us get to the starting line in life, like through public education, for example.

Not every government social program is “communist.” Each person has a range of what is acceptable help vs. government waste. If Harris advocates more than what you want, it does not make her a Maoist. Sorry, that’s just a dumb point of view. Even Trump wants to keep Social Security and Medicare and veterans benefits, so he must be a communist too in your world.
