    Cool class conscious ruling class

    I saw a thread on here a few days ago asking whether or not the ruling class understands their position of power and many of you said that there have been letters and things between politicians and people of similar positions that have made it clear that they are class conscious. for some reason I didnt stop in that thread and ask for some type of evidence (not that I believe otherwise, I just want to see those messages), so if anyone has a link to some evidence that the ruling class is class conscious, please share that with me. I want to print out the evidence and staple it to the forehead of my reagan-loving stepfather

    "This is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like the cat because the cat is free, and will never consent to become a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

    "The intellectual and emotional refusal 'to go along' appears neurotic and impotent." — Herbert Marcuse.

    Lenin says the best defenders of bourgeois class interest aren't actually the capitalists.

Without their leadership of the workers, the bourgeoisie could not remain in power.

    That's all very well in practice, but how will it work in theory?
