Does "equality" even matter to Jesus?

[Learning always]

"....Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,...In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant...."
Philippians 2:3–8

Christians are not concerned with equality, because they practise humility and charity.
Atheistic communists fight for it.

I am curious to hear you guys' thoughts on the issue of "equality", and whether it even matters to Jesus. I've heard many on the political left argue that it does, though I've heard many others (usually on the political right!) say it doesn't matter, that it's all just "woke" and "Marxism"; and that the only justice important to Christians is that we'll see when Jesus returns.

What do you guys think? I'd encourage everyone to check out this 4-minute video before you reply, as I think it sets good context for some of the dilemma I'm trying to get at with my question. And then let me know what you think, thanks:

The video was just a bunch of taking verses out of context and cherry picking rather than looking at the whole Bible.
I think God does care about equality and social justice, but not like the leftists view it. He wants us to share the gospel equally and freely. He wants us not to give preference or discriminate. Instead of people using the Bible to bolster their argument they need to form a biblical ideology.

Why do you think Jesus taught for us to not call people by titles? (Matthew 23:8-10)

I guess you're saying the video narrators are leftists? Would that be correct?

I'm not sure why anyone would think Jesus is interested in "equality". He knows how we are all made. He knows some of us are superior at certain things and some of us are superior at other things.
But it depends on how you define "equality".
JEsus loves us all equally because we are all equal in his eyes.

It's in OUR eyes and through our judgment that people are NOT equal.

But what He IS INTERESTED IN is how we TREAT others. We are required to love everyone and help the less fortunate.

Why do you think Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell all he had and give the money to the poor? (Luke 18:22)

I think they're supposed to.
