I forgot the part where producers were also asking for the state to ensure a 'fair competition' based on merit and not birth.

Now, takes Forbes top 500 fortunes of the world and tell me how much people are not xth generation dynasty kids.

I love Bill Gates he has a lot of merit, one of which is being well borned.

We do have a meritocratic system, but this system is biased because he is mainly accessible through birth.

This is the definition of a society based on casts. We are regressing in the name of a so called "liberalism" that looks like the "communism" of Lenin : an implementation that contradict the purpose.

Our political systems are wrong implementations of good ideas. How can we repeatedly fail that much collectively?
