Therefore what matters is the mask -- the political formula -- and the details of exactly how semi-hereditary the aristocracy is. The mask needs to be evaluated as a mask, of course, not as if it is the truth. Who accepts it, who doesn't, what effects it has.

Anarcho-Capitalism is the only way, but most people can't grasp that it's possible or how to behave if it happened. I'm reminded of the reaction to voluntary non-monogamous relationships.

Marx, Foucault, and the like could have written the same thing. There is some truth to it, but what is needed to complement it is a hierarchy of systems that are more and less legitimate and a vision of what might be most legitimate.

They've been doing that for thousands of years. From age to age the same.

I've felt similarly about many of today's giant companies that were built generations ago.

Very true. Look at the all the rich legacy names that dominate politics. Public servants....yeah right. They make a fortune off social distress.

Spot on
