    Socialism is not one thing, it has morphed over the years. The modern left has been squarely against meritocracy for a while - that is why in the 90s we started with participation trophies. You can't have winners and losers. This radical form of egalitarianism seeks equal outcomes rather than equal opportunity.
    Again, dragging down those who excel to the level of the losers.

    (Oh, that's right - there are no losers)
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      My youngest daughter was a soccer coach (after "aging out" of youth soccer) when that whole "everybody gets a trophy" thing came into vogue. She would laugh at the fact that the 'commissioners' of the soccer league would stress that "we're not keeping score - there are no winners or losers" -- but every kid on both teams knew how many goals were scored, and by whom!

        Harrison Bergeron will tell you that 2081 is just around the corner.

        Except it won't be 211th to 213th Amendments but rather the 211th to 213th Executive Actions

        I'm always still in trouble again
