We have to find a way of introducing MERITOCRACY in Democracy.

[NuestraPatriaGrande]

Limited democracies, like the US, have had a very hard time, especially in the last 40 years with the advent of neoliberalism. Limited social Meritocracies like China have found a way to improve the process of efficient governance.
