The Negation of the Negation of Meritocracy

(June 11, 2026. profit → benefit) This paper examines meritocracy and investigates the lack of validity in the negation of meritocracy. Meritocracy originates from diversity; the negation of meritocracy requires enormous costs, and such negation must yield benefit that exceed those of meritocracy. Appropriate evaluation of ability enables appropriate placement, which is highly beneficial for both individuals and the community. Even for persons with developmental disabilities, appropriate evaluation and placement preserve their dignity. Generally, it is said that meritocracy produces major adverse effects such as the expansion of disparity. As measures against this, the enrichment of primary education, redistribution, and the expansion of safety nets are cited. For this purpose, enormous taxation based on the consent of the wealthy class is indispensable. However, when considering this expansion of disparity from the perspective of appropriate placement relative to ability, it becomes clear that those with low ability are in placements below their level, and those with high ability are in placements above their level. In other words, the adverse effects are the incompleteness of meritocracy, and what are considered measures are actually the thorough implementation of meritocracy. In any case, reasons to negate meritocracy are scarce; rather, it should be thoroughly implemented. All societies are established by meritocracy, and it shows that if the allocation according to ability is neglected, they collapse. This argument suggests the final summation of communism. And it is a suggestion that capitalism and socialism are not conflicting concepts. Furthermore, it is pointed out that much of the negation of meritocracy lacks consideration for the community and does not contribute to social system design.
