“I Can Pay One Half Of The Working Class To Kill The Other Half”

by

So said Gilded Age robber baron Jay Gould. Watching politics today, one might think divide and conquer was a well kept secret. The masses don’t seem to understand how they are being played, goaded and prodded into fighting each other. The liberal and conservatives herds, oblivious to the manipulation they are subject to, bash their … Read more

Labels: The Doors of Perception

by

The label is a wondrous development in the evolution of the ruling class. It is a form of thought that takes away the need for actual thinking. The label, in fact, replaces thinking with its short comforting familiarity of definition tailored to sooth the insecure individual and justify their “thoughts” and “opinions”, while delivering the individual into ruling class service.

by

The Ruling Class Observations has distilled the fundamental, universal and common sense principles of all ruling classes and their societies. When a small group of individuals benefits from a significant disparity of material privilege, a ruling class condition exists in society. A ruling class implies widespread poverty.

Ego and the Ruling Class

by

In Common Features of Ruling Class Society We summarize the major features common to all ruling classes, regardless of mode of domination. Indispensable as these qualities are to the existence of a functioning ruling class, the ego of the individual is the key without which those characteristics can not function properly. The individual is the fundamental unit of the society. Ego is the driver of the individual. Control the ego of the individual, dominate society.

Religious Capitalists vs. Common Sense Capitalists

by

One of the goals of the Ruling Class Preservation Society is to change the way the masses (and the ruling class) think about capitalism. Hitherto, the Great Institution has bred its subjects to believe that capitalism is a positive good — good for them,  and good to them — and that its negative effects are the anomalies perpetrated by unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of the system. Its enemies, we are bred to believe, are a mob of resentful, envious failures. We call this thinking religious capitalism.

The Alternate Reality of Michael Kazin vs. the Reality of the Ruling Class Establishment

by

Michael Kazin, professor of history at Georgetown University, recently wrote an essay for The Nation entitled We Know We Hate the Establishment—but Do We Know What It Is? The article’s tagline tells us, “The vague term obscures where power really lies.”

Professor Kazin seems fixated on the idea that the Establishment undefined in precise terms is therefore non-existent, especially since he dares not attempt a definition himself.

Election Corruption — The Cornerstone of Ruling Class Democracy

by

From the earliest days of the Republic — of ruling class democracy itself — election corruption has been a vital necessity for ruling class domination. From our perspective in the ruling class, election corruption covers both legal and illegal means of securing power. Whether we employ literacy tests, property requirements, or election fraud, voter purges or outright thuggery — it is all the same to us. From the ancient Greeks excluding the vast majority of their populations to modern voter ID laws and machine vote flipping, ruling classes have been able to have their democracies and eat them too.

The Ruling Class and Its Masses, a Visual

by

Here at the Preservation Society, we are proud of our intellectual independence from the ruling class though we are part of it. We like to draw out the buffoonery of the Liberal and Conservative mainstream and undermine their authority. We have been too successful in herding the masses into a deferential and unquestioning mindset. We … Read more

To Support Sanders Or Not, That Is the Question

by

Among what one might call the “real” Left, as opposed to Liberals and/or Democrats, Bernie Sanders is either a small opening to be exploited or just another straw dog to suck up the people’s energies into ineffective action. Many of them ignore his unusual circumstances as a presidential candidate. Meanwhile they also thought that Wall Street would run to The Donald in the event of Clinton failure.

Can 50 New York Millionaires Make a Difference?

by

As rank and file Democrats debate whether they want a significant shot at prosperity through public investment with Bernie Sanders or the Obama status quo with Hillary Clinton, 50 New York millionaires, mostly women, wrote an open letter to Governor Andrew Cuomo. They asked to have their taxes raised, saying of our crumbling society:

We cannot afford to ignore these challenges. As business leaders and investors, we know that the long-term stability and growth of a company requires investments in both its human capital and physical infrastructure. The same is true for our state.

This is precisely the message the Preservation Society has been debating since 1933. It seems that many of our esteemed fellow  ruling class-mates are “getting it” and recognizing the dire need for public investment.

Common Features of Ruling Class Society

by

The ruling class is a minority of society, a malfunction of the human community, where one small portion of the populace sucks more resources and wealth, and grows disproportionately more powerful than the rest of society. It is cancerous minority on society to be quite honest. This ruling class minority rises to vie with the larger … Read more

One Percenter Asher Edelman Supports Bernie Sanders

by

Asher Edelman, one percenter and inspiration for Gordon Gekko of “Wall Street” movie fame, has endorsed Bernie Sanders for President. Edelman demonstrates the growing concerns of many in the ruling class, and particularly those of us in the Preservation Society, over our increasingly dysfunctional society. Social awareness of the ruling class is important but more important is awareness of the ruling class among the masses.

Election 2016: The Stupidity Exposed

by

The We at the Ruling Class Preservation Society are a non-partisan organization. To us, the properly functioning Establishment political parties are in reality conduits that, on the one hand, direct mass support to the ruling class, and on the other hand, respond to diffuse mass discontent. It is a balancing act to be sure. Our … Read more
