This is precisely why those laboring under the misapprehension that the same mechanism used for this can somehow be used by them to make things more "fair" are, at best, delusional. The results will always be "more fair" only to a certain group; moreover, that group will always exist in some form or other, as precisely such has always been the actual outcome of any fascist/mercantilist/communist system: only the name and presumed principles vary, but the effective outcome is always the same and always toxic to the rest of society.
