Let's look at the history of class - I don't mean "Stay classy, San Diego." I mean "Despotic elitism." Our Founding Fathers, astutely wary of the encroachment of English aristocracy, engaged in a perpetual discourse on social order.
The specter of class gained a foothold early on in Western democracies and traces back to the remnants of Greek democracy, notably propagated by Plato.
Plato, a pupil of Socrates and a proponent of famous city-state governance, proposed a three-tier class system: The guardians, auxiliaries, and the working class.
As powerful political weapons, as means which are useful for herding the human cattle, and for unifying the ruling class.
The Elites: Guardians of Power The elites, the guardians, the ruling class: These are the proverbial "Cool kids" of society.
The ruling class must perpetuate itself or risk losing the levers of the machine.
Their relationship with the human cattle class is, at best, tangential.
In the elitists' worldview, the cattle class remains befuddled or sedated while the breeding of the next elite cadre proceeds unabated.
The cattle class, vital to the system, is kept on the brink of survival by the state's machinations, all while being squeezed for every drop of devotion and labor.
The elites are both ruthless and "Compassionate." They proudly embrace a snobbish "Noblesse oblige" that permits them to approve certain toys for the "Working class," provided these gadgets are closely monitored and used to perpetuate the master class Utopia.
We were established without a ruling class or a working class.
