    Capitalists often use the idea that everyone is equal under the law to obfuscate theor class domination. A genuine society where everyone is equal under the law in theory and practice is worth fighting for, but in the present moment it is all smoke and mirrors.

      I think that very, very few people these days believe in this equality (i.e. believe that it exists in practice), “libs” or otherwise.
