Think of Plato's ideal state. I'm not convinced it was his ideal but no matter. It involved specialization and a division of duties. In that way, hypothetically, the system would run more smoothly and efficiently.
But, in the same way the same insights could be used to promote evil. Why not? And bigots seem to be more motivated than decent people. They have the drive. Voilà, we have modern Republicanism.
A philosopher class of cunning bigots, allied with priests who ritualize insanity, make the abnormal seem normal and inculcate hate. A class of enforcers, and then a pliable class of workers or producers.
It all runs so beautifully. And it's completely corrupt. Because philosopher kings have to be chosen by someone. So they choose themselves, reverse engineering the justification. In other words, fatalism.
They deem it inevitable and justice that they should have come out on top. And only right that the producers support them. They call themselves producers, as a ploy, though they don't produce anything.
They are not producers, by definition. In this version they are the opposite of philosophers. They are a privileged class. In reality, if they facilitate anything other than the common good they should be deposed.
And possibly shot. We ended up with fatass, worthless, white pieces of shit like Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich, Jack Abramoff and Phil Gramm determining everything. The worst possible people.
The pasty people are our philosopher kings. And our 'civilization' is a garbage dump of waste, excess and injustice. I predict it will fall. And, as always happens, innocent people will suffer the most.
