Meritocratic Absolutism: A Convenient Dictatorship

Introduction

In this article, I would like to outline a philosophical and politico-economic framework—one I have developed by synthesizing meritocracy and absolutism with a set of my own principles governing the structure of a power capable of world dominance.

However, at the very outset, I must dispel the notion I just sketched: meritocratic absolutism, as conceived by “Georgie”, does not aim for territorial expansion or the absorption of other states. It is a doctrine that rejects what virtually every other form of governance holds at its core: imperialism. Meritocratic absolutism according to “Georgie” is founded upon radical individualism, hypocrisy, societal segregation, and, above all, strict isolationism.

The key to the elegance and resilience of meritocratic absolutism according to “Georgie” lies in the fact that, unlike the various systems of governance throughout history, it operates flawlessly.

There are no internal flaws in the system I have designed. And while to modern eyes in the twenty-first century it may appear as one of the most terrifying, un-ethical, and bleakly dystopian visions of the world, it remains the only human-conceived system entirely immune to internal collapse.
