x= anything.
y = any other thing.
By defintion,
x and y are ideas only if x=y.
x and y are not ideas of x is not equal to y.
=>There can never be a difference among our ideas on different things.
What is wrong in this conculsion?

x and y can never be equal. You said it yourself. y=any other thing. Meaning anything other than x.

I'm no expert but I would say your logic is correct given your definitions. But your conclusion makes no sense at all. Proof - "we should be in Iraq" is an idea and "we should not be in Iraq" is an idea by X is not equal to Y.
Again, you math is good but your definitions are wrong.

X cannot equal Y because any other thing is other than anything.

the problem is you are looking for a conclusion
when you should be finding a solution
x = anything
y = any other thing
if
x=y
than
z = x + y + others
