Liberal elite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The term liberal elite is a political phrase to describe affluent, politically liberal-leaning people. It is commonly used with the pejorative (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejorative) implication that the people who claim to support the rights of the working class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_class) are themselves members of the upper class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_class), or upper middle class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_middle_class), and are therefore out of touch with the real needs of the people they claim to support and protect. The phrase "liberal elite" should not be confused with the term "elite" as used by writers such as Vilfredo Pareto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilfredo_Pareto) and C. Wright Mills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Wright_Mills). They use the term to mean those who exercise the most political power.

The label is essentially a rhetorical device with flexible meaning depending on where in the English speaking world it is used. As a polemical term it has been used to refer to political positions as diverse as secularism, environmentalism, feminism, and other positions associated with the left.

The originating usage in the United States is applied with various changes to other English speaking countries and by extension to left-leaning elites in other countries.

The so-called Liberal Elite are nothing more and nothing less than social-liberals and Western-European Social-Democrats (Bernstein Tradition). They don't have to be rich. They're often upper middle class professionals (I.e. Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Etc.) and intellectuals (I.e. Authors, Journalists, Career Politicians).

There is no such thing as a liberal elite. There is only an elite and it is divided by class. There are liberals, conservatives and social-democrats among this social elite and their political opinions are meaningless in fighting the,.

I think the point is that the ruling class doesn't only attack the workers and oppressed via their Right wing, but also via their Left wing.

Well their very light left wing.

Is there a specific cutoff to be a member of the elite, so for example as soon as I have a single share of stock in my pension I become a capitalist?

Class systems are never as black and white as caste systems. To answer your question, not necessarily.
