why is universal egalitarianism good?

Well everyone would have an equal chance at life, not the skewed system of the rich staying rich and the poor staying poor. This is one of the best parts of communism in my opinion.

education for all, health care for all, a real chance at a decent life for all. This is miles above the capitalist system of education for the rich, health care for the rich, a great lifefor the rich, all bulit on the backs of the poor.

Do you propose to do anything about genetic differences? I can't see how true egalitarianism could ever be achieved as long as some people are born intelligent and healthy whereas others can be born stupid or terminally ill.

Also, why the focus solely on material inequalities? Why should someone who can't secure sex through voluntary agreements with other adults be forced to accept his situation, and someone unable secure food/healthcare in the same way get help from the government? Why is it ok to use force in order to make people provide money, but not to make them provide sexual favours/kidneys etc?
