meritocracy 

In a nutshell: A form of government where your power or position is based on your ability or achievements. Like communism, this sounds really good on paper (or a computer screen).

Allow us to introduce you to the concept of a "meritocracy" - the closest thing

Everyone else watches from the stands.
