Pro
I wish you had more rounds to this debate, while I 'understand your arguments, a single round leaves you way to open to attacks by Con.
Con
Counters Pros use of the word best,
Though I 'think one might assume Pro means the best state of affairs for/between humans.
I think it's fair to view some values as self evident (Subjectively)
Such as not being in horrible agony is good.
. . Still Con makes a good point, and leaves one wondering what Pro 'means by equality?
Financially, Biologically?
Some people are fond of Deontological Ethics.
Even if society as a whole is better, people don't always like stepping on others.
Course, sometimes just raising one person, can raise everyone, often a reason people want equality is from the people higher up forcing others down, if the ones higher up are lifting the people down low up, maybe they don't 'want the equality as much.
Final Thoughts
Pro was lacking in explanation of what they 'meant by equality, what would their equality look like? Do they have an example?
Con wins due to deconstructing several of Pros arguments such as best, and whether people would be better off (legs).
Pro doesn't defend P1 very strongly, which gives Con room to come in with a counterexample. Mostly this debate is Pro making sweeping statements and Con pointing out exceptions.
I wont argue for genocide, so I must stick with "living".
Almost the goal of communism... As we know from the genocide in Ukraine, not quite the goal of communism for them to be "living" a horrible life.
