Is there an Ethical Basis for human equality or should the rule of Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest prevail?

Aleksandar Šarović wrote:

Equality is a very wide term. The people should have equal rights, but they do not have equal skills nor needs and they have not equally contributed to creating values in society. Therefore, a compromise needs to be made. However, I would never agree with the results that lead toward the battle for survival in society.

Like equality, survival is a broad term also. More than just life and death of an individual, it comprises; corporations, organizations, social groups, social structures, political structures, and entire species. Is excellence and long-term survivability achieved through the struggle for the survival of these things (listed above) or through some type of group oversight that believes they know what excellence is.

It's hard to answer your question because the truth probably lies somewhere in between. I think it is more important to present what will be than what was. When the system I have proposed becomes accepted somewhere, the people will easily recognise what excellence is. Each man will be guaranteed with human and civil rights. Also each man will receive an income from the day of birth up to the day of death dependant on values of his present and past work. The income will always be high enough to ensure existence. Also, each man will receive medical insurance and free education. Each man will have an equal chance to get work at any work place he wishes. Each man will be able to protect his interests everywhere he wishes, by himself. As you see, I am talking about natural human beings. Everything else you mentioned will depend on the needs of those human beings. If something is needed, that will survive, otherwise it will not. In the end, I do not expect the struggle for survival anywhere. That is mostly because there would not exist a division between privileged and unprivileged people. I expect cooperation at all levels of human relationships.

How does limited resources and human greed figure into this. I believe we have enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but the resources needed to allow all individuals to self actualize would be enormous, possibly more than the planet has.

The book is actually about disalienation. It teaches the people to recognize the natural needs and values, and to live in accordance with their nature. When the idea realizes its success the planet Earth will be big enough for all. If you read the book you would find why.
