I don't want this to turn into a political debate but isn't equality here just another word for communism? Is the word communism being avoided because of its negative stigma? Or is there an actual difference?
Some of the things in our system are specifically unequal and anti capitalist. For example, classes of investor: you need a certain level of income to make some investments.
equality focuses on providing equal opportunities and resources to everyone, communism is a broader ideology that seeks to restructure society’s economic and political systems to eliminate classes and ensure that resources are distributed based on need, not wealth or status.

“It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities, but of their advantages”
