The notion of a classless society

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

This is a placeholder for classes

Why Isaac Newton's other gig at the treasury was important. Money makes the idea of a classless society possible if anything can.

Class

Money is the way modern societies quantify the work of its society. Since many economic systems have historically allowed money to be the property of individuals, these people can retain to their own dictates a power over those of lesser financial means - particularly those of the working class, who live in service of the upper class if we define the upper class meaning those with the means of production and the working class as those who work for the upper class.

Thus a socio-political imbalance exists between individuals of extreme wealth, and those with little or no wealth. The interests of those in whom power is established will often dramatically conflict with the interests and needs of the working class.

Furthermore, since the mechanisms by which wealthy peoples will increase or maintain their financial status are related and similar to another, they tend to develop similar political needs, and act in concert as a political group to those ends.

This is of course, is in direct contradiction to the wants, and often needs, of the greater majority. The only means by which people have in modern times made progress against this imbalance has been through democracy, and the institutionalized respect and protection of personal liberties.

Fundamentally, there is little difference between the class warfare that existed between the Victorian era monarchy and the common public, and a modern Corporation and its workers, who may own part or most of the corperation.

Abolition

Thus slavery must be a horror to a Barker. And thus even a lapsed Barker like Daniel Waterhouse is opposed to slavery.
