Is inequality an evil that must be fixed or something completely natural that must be pursued?

Inequality as in you are tall and I'm small? Or inequality as a result of class society?

The former isn't really interesting, the latter should probably cease if we are to survive as a species.

Why the need to discuss this in moralistic terms ("evil")?

I don't think that inequality should be "pursued", but I'll just say that most equality often times seems very forced.

Inequality comes from class society, in which a few have better resources, better education, better treatment before the law, etc. Inequality is the one enforced.

if you were to better yourself, wouldn't that make you more advantaged than another?

can't have that now, can we...

false dichotomy. it is natural but we needn't necessarily pursue it.

Inequality is a fact of life. It's how things happen. All over the world, across species; it's probably happening right now on some distant planet populated by strange unimaginable aliens.

Equal opportunity is not the same thing as the "equality" that the guy in the WebM is advocating. There is absolutely nothing equal about redistribution of wealth. You won't come close to achieving any semblance of equality through its implementation either.
