#upper-class — Public Fediverse posts

I'm no fan of Chinese style authoritarian "communism," but there are these #UpperClass Chinese #Capitalist / #Fascists that have fled to North America & they wreak havoc here.

Living personifications of Ayn Rand's books. Not much different than their counterparts who fled a modernizing Europe.

A quotation from John Adams

Your “ἄρiςτοi” [aristocrats] are the most difficult Animals to manage, of any thing in the whole Theory and practice of Government. They will not Suffer themselves to be governed. They not only exert all their own Subtilty Industry and courage, but they employ the Commonalty, to knock to pieces every Plan and Model that the most honest Architects in Legislation can invent to keep them within bounds.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1813-07-09) to Thomas Jefferson
