The left favours equality above truth. The right favours freedom above truth. Both ignore the fact that we cannot have true freedom or equality unless we first favour truth above all.

That is prima facie untrue. To eliminate income/wealth inequality, say, you an simply confiscate all value and redistribute it equally without caring about why more value is/was produced here or there.

No, because without addressing the root causes of inequality, the redistribution would gradually re-redistribute back towards an unequal state.

Don't eliminate, but put clear and hard lower and upper boundaries to inequality. e.g. a UBI of 4000 USD / months + 100% marginal wealth tax rate above 100 million USD in assets.
