This paper delves into the concept of equality in Marxism through dialectical scrutinizes. Marx believed that all people should have equal opportunities and enjoy equal opportunities for comprehensive development [1]. Firstly, it analyzes the abstract equality under the conditions of the bourgeoisie, and through criticism of it and summarization of the inequalities in people's own conditions and social status during activities, it the study concludes that the equality from the socialist perspective mainly includes equality in rights: political status equality, opportunity equality, and equality in distribution standards; as well as three types of differences that will still exist: urban-rural differences, worker-peasant differences, and individual quality differences.
