I think what always bugged me about Harrison Bergeron was that it framed inequality as being all about intrinsic ability and paid no attention to how it can be created by social conditions. So it makes equality looks ridiculous because it frames absolute equality as being based on not allowing people to express their natural abilities, but that's not what anyone's trying to do when they're doing work that's trying to make society more equal. They're actually trying to correct socially created inequality.
