The Overlooked Conspiracy Theory of A Marxist Ruling Class
For well over a century, Marx's ‘ruling class’ endures as a conspiracy theory. It doesn’t legally exist as a US governing body.
The more I pay attention to the political repartee shuttling back and forth between newsies, polemics and varietal editorial reporters, I see the phantom outline of an unacknowledged conspiracy of a quasi-legal ruling class. For instance, you cannot point out organizations of high-powered assemblies at say, The Bilderberg Group or the Trilateral Commission as an event of conspiracy without calling down fire from NY media and FBI minders. You can talk all day in a disparaging tone about “the ruling class”. Why is that?
Class social divisions has songbird appeal for the people told they are the ruling class, not anyone else.
In class on government and political theory, we didn’t cover “the ruling class”. That was economics class. I think that was a mitzvah, a favor borne of simple kindness. There is nothing in our government’s structural democracy that entitles the public or forces submission to - a ruling class. To acknowledge one form of a country’s primary economic organization – capitalism – does not open the government to a left-handed version of modern feudalism – Marxism.
The concept of a ruling class is based on Marxism. Marxism is derivative feudalism. It is also a religion based on theoretical government. Most of the problems we contend with day-to-day as nuisance arbitrary rules comes from a deep-seated faith in a religion of delusional government. This is a paradise for parasites where everything is provided because they are here on the planet. Everything works perfectly because they are in charge, in theory. No one in Congress votes for it. It is “legacy” tailored for high handed bureaucrats who hate (d)emocratic rule and accountability process. For example, the myth of the Kennedy family’s Camelot could double as anti-democratic propaganda.
