The Impossibility of Equal Opportunity

Liberalism has never produced anything even approaching equality of opportunity anywhere in the world ever, writes Julian Zelizer. If anyone were to lay out a set of policies that actually brought about equality of opportunity, he says, they would be labeled communist extremist by liberals who claim to support it. It is not liberalism, but only socialism that could ever attempt to provide real equality of opportunity,. And it is only communism, the final destination of socialism, that could solidify such equality and perpetuity - Zelizer.
