It was the top-down template for Rome and is the model for the present economic system; in both technics and in prose it is fascism.
To survive as
non-productive people who lack the empathy necessary for collaboration,
oligarchs must dominate either by force or trickery to be able to
continue to absorb other peoples' resources and protect what they have
taken.
Force, as an ethically accepted strategy, finally collapsed when a universal collation isolated and destroyed Apartheid, the last Western-based slavery system.

SinceApartheid, oligarchs have had to develop new
imitative strategies to convince the normal majority of humanity that
oligarchs are themselves normal and responsible and should be allowed to
remain in control.
This comes as a result of a debate on YouTube, surrounding, of all things Empathy. Seems that the oligarchs are attempting to pervert the new material about empathic neurons (spindle and mirror) because they don't have any:
johnbessa (me) talking to DanUuNoel:
Great to hear the word oligarch. I only started to understand it as with research into the meanings of reason and sense. Plato's invention, it is the model for both Rome and present economics: fascism. For non-productive people to survive, oligarchs who lack empathy for collaboration, they dominate either by force or trickery. As force collapsed with Apartheid, the oligarchs have to develop new imitative strategies to convince normal people that they are normal and responsible.
DanUuNoel to me (DanUuNoel @johnbessa)
Our current oligarchs are definitely malevolent. But oligarchy can be good. In fact, people with ordinary intellectual faculties are incapable of making complex decisions with heavy consequences. An oligarchy ought to be composed of people who are competent, willing to work hard, and medically screened for their propensity to be good towards their global community.
The whole USA was once suspended to Cheney's heart. Had they ever worried about his mental health...

I used to say exactly as you do when I was in HS (I was very advanced--exhibited in the Whitney Museum, for instance, dumbed-down later for work).
I am afraid that it will be impossible to show a fair nation led by intellectuals that lasted.
Now I see solely in terms of basics:

Of those, only modern medicine is missing from tribal society-but now the Internet tribe can make medicine through e-mutualist collaborative projs as Linux was
DanUuNoel@johnbessa
Good ideas; however, it's not just medicine, but anything requiring a mountain of expertise that is missing. This would include the infrastructure to support e-mutualism.
Linux was made by experts, not by lay people who knew nothing about PCs. I think what you have in mind is some economic system where the priority is the general welfare. Like it or not, people with ordinary mental abilities can certainly contribute, but some functions do require exceptional abilities.
johnbessa @DanUuNoel
We have infrastructure; you are on it! It is not technically challenging, and neither is LInux, Linux is long obsolete but we are stuck with it because the global economists gave technology to a wholly inept oligarchy: the Hindu upper-caste!
You have yet to name a significant oligarchy that has been paternal. Only sadism keeps oligarchs in power, as no people would fight to protect dominant narcissists unless those narcissists had a stranglehold on them.
