 | | Conservatives protest, first, that egalitarians and in particular those of them who propose equality of results are guilty of something or other in speaking of equality as justice. | | | This is not a matter of the Last Judgement but, so to speak, the lower courts. | | | It has long been clear to all but a sorry rump of Utilitarians, and one or two others, perhaps including William Letwin, that the Greatest Total Satisfaction is not identical with justice, and more particularly with equality of results. |

| | Equality: The Unknown Ideal - Mises Institute |
| | The case against socioeconomically egalitarian legislation is, as I said, an egalitarian one; for such legislation invariably involves the coercive subordination or subjection of dissenting individuals to the taxes and regulations imposed by government decision makers, and thus presupposes an inequality in authority between the former and the latter. | | | And it is certainly true that the ideal of legal equality has been invoked by libertarians against various programs of a socioeconomically egalitarian stripe (such as labor laws and anti-discrimination laws that grant to employees, whilst denying to employers, the right to terminate the employer-employee relationship at will). | | | The fifth-century B.C. Chinese philosopher Mo-tzu once remarked that if someone can recognize an act of unjust aggression when it is perpetrated by one individual against another, but not when the same act is perpetrated by an organized group of individuals, such a person must be confused about right and wrong. |
