Is equality a worthwhile social/political goal to pursue? Or is it a pointless, impossible goal that's the refuge of those who can't achieve?

pointless. we live under a power rule, ie 10/90, 20/80, etc.

It's an impossible goal that will massively punish those that strive to improve themselves and their familes at the expense of the lazy and stupid
Equality of outcome is bad for all.
Inequality is a problem but extreme actions to alleviate that problem cause extreme problems.
Capitalism works well with some common sense and limitations.
> Is equality a worthwhile social/political goal
Depends on the fact whether you live in an ant colony

You are talking about equity, not equality.
Capitalism is about equality; everyone rich or poor treated equally before the law
Socialism is about equity; perceived under achievers will be treated with special privilege before the law to bring them up-to-par with their more talented peers

I mean, just ask yourself a simple question: is it immoral or bad to start a business and employ few people?
According to many communists it is. That's just retarded extremism.
In my opinion small and middle business should be encouraged. Corporations and such should be seen with extreme prejudice though.

its probably a good thing to strive for equality of opportunity.

Karl marx never supported equality for people. Only sharing and working less.
Workaholics are just as bad as lazy people.

Most communists didn't like homosexuality. They still had a hierarchy system in what people are above.

Karl Marx didn't want equality.
He wanted a system where a lazy parasite like him could conceivably run the government.
