But it is not "inequity" and "unfairness" that are at the root of socialist Envy, it is a desire to stamp out diversity, to enforce uniformity....
In "Facial Justice" the British fiction writer L.P. Hartley wrote of an imaginary Utopia where envy is institutionalized by a government program that make sure all female faces are equal, performing coerced surgery to detract from the more beautiful and uplifting less unattractive until "facial Justice" is finally realized .....
Kyrt Vonnegyt Jr. wrote the short story "Harrison Bergerob" depecting a comprehensively egalitarian utopia:" the year was 2081, and everyone was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God in the law. They were equal in every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anyone else."
The Handicappingh worked as follows: Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts.
And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every 20 seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking on a fair advantage of their brains."
