at least with part of this.

Economic inequality will always be with us to an extent, simply because people have different wants and goals in life. And different ways to contribute to society. But it DEFINITELY doesn't have to be as wide as it is under the dictatorship of capital.

As to the "political equality", THAT won't happen until there's economic democracy because the economic, the social and the political are ALL CONNECTED UNDER CAPITALISM.
