I agree, but "altruistic meritocracy" (Surreptitious) has something to be said for it. To what extent might altruistic meritocracy be combined with constitutional democracy?
When the altruistic meritocrats clash with some other idealists they'll either fight it out (war), or they'll find a compromise in the form of a constitution/social contract.
RC Saunders, you don't personally know any real people who are socialists. Your knowledge of man's recent past is blinded by reason of your confirmation bias. If you knew what I know about the lives and work of real people who were socialists you would not write what you did write.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 1:50 am"From each according to his ability; to each according to his need."

Guess who will have all the needs? Every slimy lazy parasite and useless bum on earth.
Guess who will be expected to sacrifice what they have produced for the sake of "those who have the needs."
This doctrine that would sacrifice the best of humanity for the sake of worst is call, "moral."
Whenever these socialists invoke the phrase, "the common good," do not be deceived into thinking they are being altruistic or socially conscious. What they mean by the, "common good," is, "their own good," and their dream of having and enjoying what they could never produce or earn on their own and living in luxury at other's expense.
When a socialist talks about self-sacrifice, it means you sacrificing yourself for him. The socialist is always the one with the needs, never the one with the ability or ambition to actually produce anything that could meet anyone's needs, not even his own.

Oh... the EXPERT speaks! You're so fucking self-righteous it makes me want to hurl. You're as much of an asshole as he is, so you sacrifice truth in order to jump on the self-important band-wagon. You guys are so proud of your ignorance, it's laughable.
