There comes a time when it becomes necessary for the people to overthrow the existing government. The history of CodeForces has been nothing but a history of class struggle, where the Burgeois oppress the common people. Thus We, the people of CodeForces, must rise up against tyranny. In Order to form a more equal Union, Establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, and uphold fundamental Human Rights.

I propose, at once, to Abolish Rating! Since the birth of CodeForces, its creators have sewed seeds of injustice into its very foundation. Look no further than the community upvote system. The votes of the Burgeois, such as a grandmaster, counts numerous times more than a newbie. Is this but not an outrageous manifestation of inequality!? Where, the people, or the majority, are silenced by the elite minority and forbidden to voice their opinions. Besides systemic oppression, Ratism as a social norm has completely infested our community. The upper class has pitted the common people against each other, letting them tear each other apart while they sit on their throne and enjoy the view. But the most sickening of all is the Rating system itself!

It assigns a numerical value to each and every user of CodeForces. Why should the life of a Pupil be worth less than a Master just for solving fewer problems? Is society so superficial it has reduced life, the most sacred entity bequeathed by Providence, into nothing but mere numbers?

I say once again: Abolish Rating! Only when we abandon and equally redistribute the rating, can we see each other, and only when we see each other, can we truly become a community.

I have a dream that one day a newbie can sit by a Legendary Grandmaster, and speak equally with each other. They will not be judged by the rating of their accounts, but by the content of their characters.

People of CodeForces, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!

    Classic bourgeois attitude, making us doubt our place in society just because we want to create a new world order where they cannot freely discriminate against us and won’t have special powers.

I think abolishing the rating would counteract the character of the CP. I would suggest that communist programmers continue to implement Linux instead :)

If you hated ratings and rank colors that much. Why did you need to change your color to red?
