Yes but this happens in communist states too, just by less honest means.

There cannot be equal outcomes. In socialist/communist countries where outcomes are supposedly equal, it just causes lazy people to be backstabbed by ambitious people and asskissers who then get the bigger slice of an equal pie. The guy at the top distributing the equal pie is the 1%.

It's who you know, not what you know multiplied by 100.
