I don't think this is at all about equality of anything. They already have the males ready to kill but females can have babies other ways now so they have to get rid of the females too. We just can't have more people being born! We want to reduce the population to save the planet don't you know?
I didn't see any communists in the article, nor any description of nihilism. The people running the U.S. government aren't communists nor nihilists; they're overlording bureacrats/technocrats. They very much believe in hierarchical social order, not in flattening the hierarchy. And they believe in a moral substance, though I question that substance. They're feudal lords controlling the peasantry.
My comment wasn't about communism nor nihilism, either ;-)
I'm not one of those people who screams "Nazi" or "Commie" at everything disagreeable. The ebst recent description I heard of it is by Auron ManIntyre: "People say, 'Oh, America is becoming a communist country!' What you mean is, America is becoming more managerial." (from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMPEByjCLHY ).
> I read yesterday that the four richest people in the USA have more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans. How would you describe that situation?
How I would describe it depends on how it developed. A wealthy person who produces something that others are willing to trade for, is very different from a wealthy person who stole from people (including relying on government-granted stealing).
I can tell for certain, though, that such a stark inequality of outcome would NOT be characteristic of an imposed order that attacks inequalities of outcome; at least, not if such an attack on inequalities were genuinely successful.
As for the podcast I linked, start around 27:45 for the exchange about the managerial state. It last about 4 min., before Malice scaffolds on it and brings in the sad #COVIDHoax and how many common folks cheered for insanely low-IQ, low-ethics authoritarianism against whatever they thought the out-group was.

Sadly, I've heard...
In collectivism, equality of evil is a good!
Yep and that's why it's a race to the bottom mentality.

That's a great story, you learn something new everyday.
