“Equality of Opportunity: The Absence of Impediments to The Demonstration of Merit”

—“Equality of Opportunity is only theoretically possible in a totalitarian state and even then it is impossible because those with the power to enforce equality of opportunity would be vastly more powerful than the ordinary citizen and would use that power to further entrench themselves and their class in the power hierarchy. … It’s just a dumb idea. “—Scott De Warren

I think the term means “The Absence of Impediments to The Demonstration of Merit“. The left abused it. The right doesn’t.

Western civilization has always provided a path for merit and punishment for the opposite.
