Explanation
★Marx held that equality requires the removal of class contradiction, so that is the answer.
★For Marx, inequality springs from the division of society into exploiting and exploited classes.
★This rests on the private ownership of the means of production.
★Only by abolishing class divisions can genuine social and economic equality be reached.
★This happens in a classless communist society after the dictatorship of the proletariat.

★They leave the deeper economic inequality of classes untouched.
