Encourage the slothful to be parasitic on the productive
Richard Anserson says equality requires that under conditions, the state
subsides extremely costly religious ceremonies that uts citizens feel bound
to perform
Cohen tells us that equality requires that er comsepensate people for

Fairly implement the equal right
Agendas defined by recent egalitarians are too narrowly focused ont eh
distribution of divisible resources - welfare
Respect to both the target of egalitarian concern and their agendas, recent
egalitarian writings seem strangely detached from existing egalitarian
political movements
These points are flawed from inderstanding the basis of equality !
Fundamental aim of equality is to compensate people for having bad luck
Recent egalitarians have lost sight of the distinctively political aims od
egalitarianism
Create a community in which people stand in relations of equality to
others
I will compare the implications of these two conceptions of the point of
equality
Conception 1 : Fundamental injustice to be natural ineqality int he
distribution of luck, can be called " luck egalitarian " or "equality of
fortune"
Excludes some citizens from enjoying social conditions of freedom on
tspurious grouond that it's their fault
Equality of fortune makes the basis for citizens claims one another the
fact that some are inferior to others in the worth of their lives
These stigmatize the infortunate and disresepct for unfortunate for
failing to show how envy can obligate them
Anderson E - The point of Equality ? 2
, Equality of fortune makes demeaning judgements of people's
capacities to exercise responiblity and effectively dictate the
appropraite use of their freedom
I defend "democratic equality"
It guarantees add law abiding citizens effective acceess to the social
conidtions of their freedom at all times
Fundamental aim of citizens in constructing a state is to secure everyone's
freedom, demcoratic equality's principle of distribution
Personal responsibility for the other goods in their possession
Justice as equality of fortune
Richard Anerson describes the conception of justice that I want to criticise
😈
Compensate individuals for misfortune
Some are bord with good luck, some are cursed with bad luck
It's the responibility of society to alter the distribution of goods and
evil
Dsitrubutive justice stipulates that the luck shoudl transfer some or all of
their gains due to luck to the unlucky
Equality of jsutice is now one of the dominant theoretical positions among
egalitarians
Luck egalitarianism relies on two moral premises
People should be compensated for undeserved misfortunes
Compensation should come from that part of t=others good forutne
that is undeserved
Humanitarian impulse
It is a matter of obligation that the more fortunate come to their aid
No one deserves their genetic endowments of other accidents of birth
Some critics argue that the pursuit of equality is futile
Give people the same amount of money and the prudent will get more
happiness than the imprudent
