Really, I consider an egalitarian system one in which everyone is valued based on merit; That's capitalism....

Of course, but there are degrees of what I would call politicization. When I was young, dumb and full of cum I thought the military was the egalitarian system for me...after all, they have all kinds of objective metrics for success...marksmanship, pt scores, voluntary military courses, and college courses all give promotion points. That isn't to say I didn't benefit from politics, I went from e-1 to e-5 in a little over two years because I was perceived as one of the best and brightest up in comers by the senior NCO's;They sent me before the battalion board for NCO of the year even though I was just promoted to E-5 and had just returned from PLDC.
The point where I realized how political things are was when I went before the ROTC board for a scholarship and I've related that story. One thing I've learned is that as a contractor for the private sector things are still political, there is always a fiefdom someone wants to protect, but government entities are almost infinitely more political than the private sector.
