There’s a lot of nonsense to unpack in that comment.

Equity is not “literally communism”, it’s the pretty simple understanding that if you always start 40 meters ahead of someone in a 100 meter race, you’re likely to always finish first and they won’t have a chance.

So we put more (and therefore unequal) resources into helping the competitor who’s having to run 40 more meters than you.

So, to each according to their needs, and from each according to their ability, more or less?
