And congratulations for getting the blogmocracy's nod.<br /><br />Interesting that you've noted the caste-based thinking of the Left. Have you come across Mencius Moldbug's earlier blog-posts...? He also separates America into castes. On top are the Brahmins / Eloi, whose paragon is Barack Obama. Then there are the Vaisyas, the merchant-caste of entrepreneurs and skilled labour; and the Helots, <i>un</i>skilled labour. At the bottom are the Dalits / Morlocks, thugs for hire by Brahmins. (He had another "Optimate" caste of landed rich, then; but he sees that caste as dead now. And he currently lumps the Vaisyas and Helots together as Proles, which even on his own terms I'd dispute. Maybe because I'm a Vaisya...)<br /><br />Moldbug is a reactionary now; but he was raised "Brahmin". His caste model may or may not be a helpful way of looking at America; but it reveals volumes as to how the Brahmin elite sees itself and the nation at large.Darayvushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973750966981889517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2039126775167020168.post-87701737448137823572009-10-02T16:13:36.826-07:002009-10-02T16:13:36.826-07:00"The difference between a Fascist and a Lefti..."The difference between a Fascist and a Leftist is that one of them has a clean uniform."<br /><br />Heh.
