The Working Class are our Elite

My Samantha says:

"I’ve always found it puzzling that the term ‘working class’ is derogatory or said with a sneer, as if that class of people are of a ‘lower’ strata.

How can any society consider anyone who does not belong to the ‘working’ class elevated above them?

Look at the men who have created vast empires, did they not consider themselves to be of the ‘working’ class? They may have controlled millions or billions of dollars, may have played hard so that they were also called playboys, but they were not ashamed of working.

Only the following generations, those who have no appreciation of the value of money, consider work to be humiliating.

Wouldn’t a healthy society consider them a lower class since they belong to the class of parasites?

I am not against children inheriting vast fortunes.

I am against those parents who do not instil a proper value system in their children. If the child of a wealthy family has the talent and inclination and wishes to be a philosopher or artist, that too is productive. To take pride in not being productive is like being crippled, I think."

It is rather puzzling, when you think about it.

If you look back a long time, even Kings rode into battle at the front of their armies. And, as you suggest, industrial magnates are hardly of the "leisure" class.

When you consider many European nations, the monarchy of today is considered a "historical curiosity" as much as anything, and they are mostly just "figureheads" while someone else actually runs the country... and many people among regular citizens consider them "parasites" of sort.

How exactly (Hollywood?) we came up with the paradigm that "being so wealthy you don't have to work" is somehow a positive thing, I really can't say.

Maybe I should have quoted the rest of her observation:

As I said, many of the neighbours are of the working class, mechanics, electricians, plumbers and so on. They are the people we are interested in, for they form the spine of their society and the way they think or have been influenced by government propaganda is important. They also tend to be nice people, hard but fair and always willing to lend a helping hand if they like or respect you.

Does it say something about us as a species, that as soon as a generation grows up without the belief that they should earn their keep (living off their parents), they also lose their respect for those who work and demand whatever it is they want, as if it is an inalienable right. It could be argued that the school indoctrinators are to blame, but I still see it as a weakness of our nature. I wonder for how long those who work will be willing to support them.
