More like the French Revolutionaries, I would think...since they have the whole "reject the past and make everyone equal as they should be" vibe to them. Communists wish to ensure material equality....the Equalists seem to me to be solely aiming the traditions of the past (bending being the obvious choice) and rejection of the authorities based on them in the belief that a perfect,free equal world will emerge from their idealism, which is more French-Revolutionary than Communistic. So...semi-relevant, but not particularly well-worded.

Lovelybones: Basically, the equalizing-revolutionary tendency was true of all Communist revolutionaries, ...the one who came to power just screwed it up royally. (I have my own particular views as to why, but they don't really relate to Avatar, so I won't discuss them in this forum.) That being said, they are more akin to the French Revolutionaries than anything else, so the statement is inaccurate as well as being potentially offensive to some of the more decent supporters of Marxism.
