Ruling Class

[gipper]

This from the great Murray N. Rothbard...is so true and certainly applies more every day to the USA, with it's many apologists for unlimited government. Government of the elite, by the elite, for the elite shall not perish...

There must be some here who would dispute this. Where is Camp? He is a good little court jester.

All States are governed by a ruling class that is a minority of the population, and which subsists as a parasitic and exploitative burden upon the rest of society. Since its rule is exploitative and parasitic, the State must purchase the alliance of a group of “Court Intellectuals,” whose task is to bamboozle the public into accepting and celebrating the rule of its particular State. “The Court Intellectuals have their work cut out for them. In exchange for their continuing work of apologetics and bamboozlement, the Court Intellectuals win their place as junior partners in the power, prestige, and loot extracted by the State apparatus from the deluded public. “The noble task of Revisionism is to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals, and to present to the public the true history of the motivation, the nature, and the consequences of State activity. By working past the fog of State deception to penetrate to the truth, to the reality behind the false appearances, the Revisionist works to delegitimize, to desanctify, the State in the eyes of the previously deceived public.

Rothbard also wrote:

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a "dismal science." But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.​

In consideration of that remark, were the majority of the population to deliver themselves from their nescience, they wouldn't have to worry about the ruling class; they'd rightly be part of it.

The quote fits any government in power anytime anywhere. It is a stretched out echo of "Power Corrupts". Those in power will attempt to rewrite and revise history to benefit themselves and their ideas. It is taking place in the trump administration just as it took place in every other administration. A spokesman coming out and pronouncing and proclaiming trump had the largest inauguration in recent history is an example of what Rothbard is talking about. The ruling class attempting to revise history.

Rothbard is a father of Libertarianism. His racism held him back from being taken seriously in many scholarly circles. He is known as a revisionist himself which also contributed to attacks on his credibility.

By deep state you mean the cronyism of the monied elite that operates in tight circles of the one percent?

And he pegged you completely with your calling him a revisionist. Just as I thought.

If you google his name you will come upon links calling his a revisionist. That is his legacy.

The point is YOU are the revisionist.
