But we can control societal factors that cause success to be inequitably distributed. Through worker organization, redistribution of wealth, etc.

It’s just that individuals that have benefited from this false meritocracy have a vested interest in the rest of us “hustling” at the individual level instead of banding together to change the system for everyone.

"Luck playing a part" is not the same as a false meritocracy.
