Does that mean you would support a 100% inheritance tax and say, confiscating all of someone's wealth every few years?

I think a true meritocracy is only possible using some type of agoge system, but that also violates human rights. When I say destitution I guess I mean to the acceptable minimum which that most people would find unacceptable.

There will be workaround:

You can't confiscate social capital or favours someone's parent did to someone as "young adult" then that young adult did it to these parents kid and barter continues.
