The philosopher Plato discusses five types of regimes (Republic, Book VIII; Greek: πέντε πολιτεῖαι, pente politeiai). They are aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, and tyranny.

The 2,800 billionaire Oligarchs of Davos & the World Economic Forum can get by with a relatively small support staff and stable of Instagram concubines on their Pleasure Planet.

They just have to keep the peasants from realizing this.

Conservative academics tend to be anti populist because they’re pro capital to the extreme.

When conservative academics talk about subsidies to agriculture and industry, take it with a ‘grain of salt’ because no group in world history has received more subsidies than ‘Mr and Mrs Academic.’(Many of them should be considered hypocrites by not acknowledging the government money they live off)

Many of them go further and have an ‘out right’ hatred of labor and their contributions to commercial operations.

It takes both capital & labor to produce the goods & services civilization depends on. They’re *almost equal partners in these endeavors.

* I give a slight edge to capital over labor because actual capitalists are rare while labor is plentiful.
