In agreement. Meritocracy seeks to purposefully confuse the idea that anyone can succeed with the idea that everyone can succeed. It's an individualizing ideology which short-circuits systems-level thinking. I'm immediately suspicious of ideas which entangle concepts and shut down systems-level thinking. I expect that anyone who calls themselves a critical thinker to do the same.
