equality can not be achieved or be 
completed, there are no final states, life is an ever moving process. stasis is a lifeless inertia. 
for equality to be authentic it too must be a process, an equalization.  

the vivacious egalitarian strives for equality, while being aware of  the complexities of  actual situations and necessary tension and flux. 

this process of equalization never reaches completion while there are 
living beings. 

the desire for completion is a form of suicide, an infantile return to the womb. we may however seek solace in smaller, more local achievements. 

life is  an imbalance seeking a balance, but perfect balance is death, in biology as in cosmology, a simple statement of thermodynamics. but life itself is not found at either pole, it is in the motion between them, a motion that generates its opposite, life.  A constant dialectical evolution towards wider and fuller forms of life emerges in this. 

hegel perceived this dimly, and marx made it more real, but both saw final goals. 
the living dialectic is an open,  two-way phenomena, there is no final synthesis. both poles remain unique. This process regulates by trail and error when a feedback loop emerges, a partnered dance, a continual equi-rhythmic motion.
