Right? Like Socialism's goal is to build a meritocracy, as opposed to the oligarchy we have now.

A big part of the problem is that we don't measure externalities well. Like teachers and artists produce way more value than they're paid for. Instead we only reward value that can be directly measured by your boss, and that value is compensated at as low a level as the boss can get away with.

Meritocracies are still terrible and not the thing to strive for.

What even is a good life according to you? Is it one in which you constantly work and that defines your self-worth?
