I'm not actually advocating for this here. Just pointing out potential policy differences that come from a non-equality worldview.

I don't have the time to give an in depth discussion on education etc the attention it would need.

Though to elaborate on the education policy difference, you can invest variable amounts into the bottom performers, even eventually giving up on them. As I understand it, schools currently have various legal obligations towards students that lead to them spending disproportionate resources on the least performant.

Even with accepting that rather cynical view, I don't understand how you could even accurately determine who is a "hopeless bottom performer" without at the same time removing peoples equal opportunity.
