Everybody at the bottom of the state pyramid. The elites at the top get everything.

So like rich kids with generational wealth under capitalism? Sign me up!

According to statistics - rich kids squander ALL of their wealth in ~ 2 generations, so dont worry about rich kids. Stupid ones (of which there are a majority) wont be rich for long.

"Approximately 70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the next generation, with 90% losing it the generation after that." [1]

So it's not a meritocracy - it's an inter-generational relay race. A meritocracy involves a level playing field. A 100% inheritance tax would help.

And how is that communism?
