Affirmative action is the result of bioleninism.
People who naturally float to the top of meritocracies don't try to protect the system. They have nothing compelling their loyalty to maintain the system, since they achieved greatness on their own and locking out the plebs would be nice.
The problem is As hire As and Bs hire Cs. Once one person gets in that doesn't belong there, they will scramble to cling to their position by producing loyal backers, people who wouldn't get there without being placed. This creates a race to the bottom.
They need to start categorizing people to identify those who will be loyal. Falguini Sheth calls it racialization. Eventually they start openingly selecting for groups they percieve to be worthless. When you see leftists yelling for representation, the groups that they champion are ones that they percieve to be fundamentally worthless, because it will instill loyalty.
I agree with that. I used to joke that we have privatized socialism in US. No one is laughing at that though.
Mussolini considered Keynes' The End of Laissez-Faire as the manual for fascist economics. Hoover used it to create the New Deal before it had a name, and FDR went big. The US is literally a fascist economy.
