Meritocracy

First you create a set of measures to define merit and then you promote those individuals which rate the highest on the measuring stick.

The term meritocracy gained strong usage in society with the wealthy after Michael Young's publishing of the book, The Rise of the Meritocracy.

This is my meritocratic measuring stick. It fits me perfectly and thus I am the greatest of you all.

Down with meritocracy
The man who coined the word four decades ago wishes Tony Blair would stop using it

mediocracy

1- Rule of and by the mediocre.

2- Any society whose system of government is a mediocracy.

The 41st through 44th presidents of the United States--George Herbert Walker Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama--make up the mediocracy that governed the U.S. for the last part of the 20th and early 21st Centuries.

Meritocracy

Meritocracy is often a fancy word for fascism.

Our eugenics program proclaims I am of greater merit than you and that is why I lead and you follow.

In meritocracy only those who believe they are the most deserving rule.
