Because that's not the REAL situation that the entire concept deals with.

Two people starting equal are two people starting equal. That is not and will not ever be a problem in society. The problem comes that they DON'T start equally.

Did you even read the essay?

Some of the most successful people start at or near the bottom. Being disadvantaged either makes you give up or puts a fire in your belly.

I think the artificial equality of communism/anarchism/whatever breeds contempt and laziness.
