Thank Tam for this one

She posted the link to MININERD and I found THIS post. An Excerpt.

"The regular players exhibited classic signs of the politics of envy: a sense of entitlement to the achievements and rewards of people more successful than themselves and the need to blame those successful people for their own failures and imperfections. When a minority of people have more of something (money, talent, etc.) than the majority, the majority can “win” by making it a negative thing to have more and a positive thing to have less. This radical egalitarianism (or radical leveling) happened in real life during the Cultural Revolution in China, and was perfectly exemplified in fiction by Kurt Vonnegut in “Harrison Bergeron.”
