So what's the difference between an abusive meritocracy and an oligarchy?

An oligarch's parents are oligarchs and they're born into the system, whereas success in a meritocracy depends on someone exploiting their individual, personal intelligence (the intelligence that some people believe is hereditary) in a benevolent environment (good diet, no worries about heating or lighting, own computer and large amounts of leisure time to devote to it) usually provided by their parents.

Take the literalism out of 'parents' and there's actually not much if a difference between the cultures. Someone introduces you to Unix, and it goes downhill from there...
