It is no coincidence that frauds proliferate in positions of authority as socialism gains power. Every entity in a socialist system is run by political officers. People with ambitions to become political officers tend to be comfortable with cheating to get what they "deserve."
Totalitarian socialism cultivates "leaders" based on ideological reliability and political usefulness, not skill at their nominal jobs. In fact, highly skilled people who succeed on merit are often prickly iconoclasts who make lousy political officers. The system weeds them out.
Frauds who owe their success to Party patronage are more reliable as Party apparatchiks. The ideal candidates for positions of authority are people who think they owe everything to the Party and its systems. Almost by definition, such people are not high achievers.
The ladder of success in a socialist system involves loyal service to those in power, making political alliances, moving up because powerful patrons find you useful. Supreme ability and a focus on achievement are detrimental to success. They make you look like a threat.
Also, socialism harvests power by exploiting and "managing" problems, not by SOLVING them. Making a social problem better would shut off spigots of money and power. Highly skilled problem-solvers with inspiring stories of personal achievement are THREATS, not leadership material.
Note how the lefties closing ranks around a ridiculous fraud like Harvard's Claudine Gay will arrogantly dismiss someone like Dr. Ben Carson. His politics are all wrong. His story of success against long odds is a threat to their beliefs. His achievements mean nothing to them.
Putting people like Gay in charge of a university is guaranteed to make it worse, and that's exactly what the power structure needs. Frauds, poseurs, and arrogant know-nothings are the model leaders of a totalitarian hive, because they excel at destroying information.
Socialism endures by destroying information, ensuring the Little People don't know anything that threatens the system. The people are not supposed to think unapproved thoughts, speak forbidden words, or cherish dangerous ambitions. You see this every day across the Western world.
Above all, you're not supposed to wonder if anything better than the meager, wasteful, corrupt results of socialism are possible. That is why you find yourself living in a system run by frauds, who are the natural enemies of honest ambition. /end
