Who are these "extreme liberals"? Note that socialism and communism do not propose an "equal outcome in all circumstances".

Mao certainly attempted something like this with land reform. But you have a good point that it was never really equal, as he was living it up in the Forbidden City while the poor were starving.
No, I meant that socialism/communism do not state, in their list of goals, "an equal outcome in all circumstances". This is not about hypocrisy, but about misrepresenting socialism and communism.
No one has lived in the Forbidden City since 1924.
Oops, you're right, I was confusing that with Zhongnanhai for some reason.
