the point being, that doesn't mean they got this right, at least not completely
that flattening of terms and doing away with quality is a Marxist thing
Boogeyman
no
scurryyyyy
I am giving you reasons why it is wrong
it flattens out and erases distinctions that are meaningful, and functional
an aristocratic class does things differently than an ascended MERCHANT class, for DIFFERENT REASONS, and WITH DIFFERENT GOALS
You aren't giving anything substantive other than semiotics over labels
I've made claims
here follows more
Please no more
an aristocratic class is concerned with the preservation of structure and excellence, with quality in society, and thus is interested in the really long-term effects
Jesus Christ
an ascended merchant class is concerned with profit exclusively
I've given you substantial and clear statements at every step.
`an aristocratic class is concerned with the preservation of structure and excellence, with quality in society, and thus is interested in the really long-term effects`
I lold hard
IF you insist on being a pampered college boy without manners, that is a different issue
I'm out @diversity_is_racism , not going to waste my time with this sort of individual.
`aristocrats are defined as the following positive connotations. Merchants are defined as the following negative connotations.` scholarly insight brother
He has no idea how much more vig knows than him
I'm leaving the dojo senpai because this guy wouldn't play into my word games
ACTUALLY PELAGIUS MADE THE VALID POINT HERE
WE WOULD LOOK AT FREQUENCY, NOT ANECDOTES
no he really didn't. An aristocracy is just a description of power resting in the hands of a small class. In a feudal society that meant those who owned the land and passed it down via hereditary in most cases. In a capitalist society, power rests in the hands of those who own industry which is typically a small number of people residing in the investment class. In a socialist society, power rests in the hands of a few bureaucrats.
Straight forward objective descriptions without emotional connotations
what what 👐
"An aristocracy is just a description of power resting in the hands of a small class." NOT CORRECT; THERE IS A SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE CLASS.
" In a capitalist society, power rests in the hands of those who own industry which is typically a small number of people residing in the investment class." -- ALSO NOT TRUE, AS CAPITALISM ENCOURAGES MARKET ENTRY (BUT GOVERNMENT RETARDS IT)
THE BIGGER POINT IS
EUGENICS
SOME HAVE ABILITIES THAT OTHERS DO NOT
ADVANCE THOSE, AND THINGS GO WELL
RETARD THEM, AS IN SOCIALISM, AND THINGS GO POORLY
For me etymology is definitive
I always go to the word roots to see what they mean
The selection processes have nothing to do with the description of the structures of power and their relationship with wealth
@diversity_is_racism Hello
And I mean CEOs have to perform to the demands of the investors or they get replaced.
A feudal monarch can revoke the title of aristocrats all the same
