The image cuts off the billionaire sitting on top of the large stack of boxes, with each hand resting on boxes stacked slightly higher on either side.

That’s a pretty flawed way of describing equality, it’s almost like the original image was made in bad faith

Equality: the state of being equal, especially in status, rights, or opportunities.

That’s the way some people think of equality, and contrasted with what equity looks like, it demonstrates the flaw in that line of thinking.

Also, there is a version of this image where the fence is completely removed and the subtitle is “justice” or something like that, which is also a good contrast to both equality and equity.

You might be right, but in political rhetoric equality is often used in bad faith. Because the right knows equality doesn’t solve most of the problems it’s aimed at.

It’s almost like the original image is trying to describe equity and not equality.

In capitalism, they pay the owner of the stadium for the price of a ticket and watch from the benches. The rich watch from a VIP section.

The Commons are a right. Doesn’t matter that capitalists have attempted to do away with public property, by replacing it with private property, by illegally “purchasing” public property and natural resource rights for trillionths of pennies on the dollar, that’s theft. Private property shouldn’t exist without extreme regulations. Only public and personal property should exist with minimal regulations.

It isn’t but damn do we need to enforce it with violence that you’re not supposed to stand outside the stadium?

Furthermore… Couldn’t it be? Local taxpayers literally build these stadiums.
