Fair enough. Let's call it all equal then.

The argument for socialism (or socialism-like endeavors) is about equality; when societies are more equal, 'relative mobility' is less important, because the place you're in is less likely to be so horrible that you're dying to get out of it.
The argument for capitalism is not about equality, but relative mobility compared to other systems. That mobility creates incentive and thus growth.
