Is that they almost never take into account biological inequality. And I'm not talking about race here (I think racism is stupid), but physical beauty.
Given that love, intimacy, friendship and social recognition are what makes humans happy (this has been established as fact by decades of psychology research), and that physical appearance is never neutral in facilitating access to these perks of human existence, physical appearance can be considered a central problem in human happiness... (along with health, biological sex and biological age).
For example, I don't dislike communists, but I find their project of Equality terribly naive and forgetful of the strongest inequality in life: the biological inequality.
