These days' race still is like the old game the plebs against the upper class. The poor against the nobles.
The nobles always try to keep the pace with those from the lower class as this is the only thing that ensures them their privileges. And - they even dare to try to control the pace.
It's always the run who's the first. Whose way of life is gonna win and dominate the way of life the rest is going to live.
For these days, the nobles managed to apply all kinds of tricks and ways to lead the people from the lower class astray from the path that would lead them to be the first in that race.
First, one change over the centuries that happened is that everyone can be a noble, be one of their class. The nobles may not find it very pleasant, but it serves the purpose at least.
Through that, lots of people from the lower class get urged to make their efforts to move up to the upper class, so they are not busy with questioning at all why both classes got the wealth that they got.
And, secondary, so they become vulnerable to the dream of moving up the ladder.
The nobles don't want them within their ranks truly, but through the thought of maybe getting somewhere else, they become ready and willing to do a lot of things for the nobles in order to get a piece of the cake they can call their own from then. They become what you call "corrupted".
And so they keep delivering whatever the nobles want. Betraying their own class, living in the illusion in becoming part of something you were never meant to become part of, and they poison the thoughts of the next generation coming that wanted to do it better - seeing how much the previous one sold out their souls to the nobles' desires.
In fact they are... part of what tries to prevent that some others than the nobles are able to ever win the race.
Things remain as they are. The race remains at the same point before it started.

Date: 3 October 2016 06:10 pm (UTC)Well, joking aside - I think that's one of the important basic patterns one needs to get aware of when wanting to turn the system upside down and stopping the rich to be the heroes you can daily worship to.
It's a race that you have to run every day. And every day you have to win, in order to keep your standard, and not let them take it away from you again.
When looking at things in Western history, it appears like that time episode which all people are in still after WWII, and which the East is in again since the fall of the Soviet block, is an episode where the rich got the upper hand.
They drive the simple people around like cattle before their feet.
The simple people do a bunch of things to fight it, but in the end they prove to be in vain. They come to nothing, remain effectless.
In my view, this is also due to because they don't recognize this pattern that I laid down (took the muse in a good hour to make me put it down into these clear words too; don't want to brag).
They don't get it that it's this race that takes place each day and each day you need to try your best to be quicker than them.
It doesn't stop with when you've wrested one thing from the big bourgeoisie. You can't rest from that fight.
Tie that together with my criticism about "fucking finally think of new forms of protest" and you'll be able to get what I mean.

There are many people which also go insane from it... Psychosis, fatalism or "Go kill them all!"-thoughts.
