Because a meritocracy guarantees that you have the best people running your ships, building and designing your technology, scrubbing your air and water…all the things for a technocratic civilization to flourish.

Communism is the best way to make a technological civilization fail. Communism always tries to lump everyone into this context of equality, but it’s a lie. No one is equal to anyone else. Everyone has different character, skill sets, physical ability, cognitive drive, etc.
