According to Webster's:
Peasant (def 2.) : a usually uneducated person of low social status
Aristocrat (def. 3) : one believed to be superior of its kind
If you take a step back and examine our modern society with an unbiased view, difficult as that may be, you will note the obvious:
Although the terms have fallen into disuse, they are quite applicable to our current social arrangement.
Our new "self-styled" aristocracy believes itself to be the superior of its kind. Just a little, or a lot depending on the source, better than the hoi polloi that make the major bulk of Americans.
They believe themselves to be smarter, better educated, more attuned to "political realities" and, oh yeah, RICHER than the rest of us. Ergo, they are superior.
Better educated? Well, most of them went to better schools, but education is more than the school. Someone has to learn from those schools and not just buy your schoolwork from the local laissez faire nerd. That is where RICHER comes in handy.
Smarter? Exactly how many of these supposedly smarter upper class types keep stepping on their own appendages publicly and repeatedly. Bill Clinton, George Bush, Paris Hilton. The list goes on.
More attuned to political realities? Well, after years of indoctrination by Socialist educators and mentors (i.e. Obama's recent revelations of his mentors), that is definitely open to question.
Webster’s (again)
Reality: def 2. a (1) : a real event, entity, or state of affairs (2) : the totality of real things and events.
This obviously does NOT include the current “close your eyes
and repeat ‘it MUST be true, it MUST be true” attitude of certain
leftist/Liberal/Socialist/Communistic world leaders living in Washington, D.C.
The tactic is the same one Clinton tried, The Big Lie, fine
tuned by J. Stalin in post WWII U.S.S.R.
Keep telling the same lie often enough and eventually people will start
believing it.
Reality is not defined by what some aristocrat wants to be true, i.e. Great big
Socialist One World Government with a docile proletariat happily toiling away
at distasteful tasks, and a kindly, beneficent gentry running things only because
they are qualified and better able to
handle the complicated tasks involved.
Reality is almost a hundred years of dreadful history
highlighting the immense, repeated failure of Socialism to accomplish anything
useful besides allow tyrants to massacre millions of their own people in
relentless efforts to maintain their power and control over those people.
Economies devastated, famines hushed up, five year plan
disasters, mass murder commonplace.
Propaganda works, for a while, but eventually, the truth will out.
EVENTUALLY THE TRUTH WILL OUT.!
