In the absence of a system to correct for historical and ongoing injustice, you get the English system where 73% of all government jobs are held by people with the generational wealth to attend elite high schools (who are otherwise only 7% of the population). And then you end up with the horrible mess of class-anxious governance by mediocre-but-born-rich folks that is the current disaster England is living through.

I'm not sure why people would aspire to that.
