... plebs should appoint two inviolable plebeian tribunes, above the law – no patricians allowed – able to veto all legislation and protect the plebs against the power of the consuls. That was the crucial first step that would, in time, after many more such initiatives, lead to the decisions of the plebeian assemblies having exactly the same force as those of the Senate. It would also enable Rome to unite the whole of Italy, defeat Carthage, grow an empire and lay the basis for our understanding the word republic: Latin res publica, β€œthe property/business of the populus,” not of the elite. Equality at last!

Rather than teaching gender crap - schools should teach classic reality... great post.

patricians

Europe is still suffering from a caste system similar to this, attenuated but still present. In America, it is vestigial. It should be eliminated completely.

It is assumed that all Americans are middle class. It would be better to establish all US citizens as upper class or patrician.
