Yeah, I'd certainly agree that elitism often manifests itself into rather impermeable social structures, but for ease of nomenclature I was thinking of the term in the most traditional sense. The case of racism that you brought up calls to mind that a state has to really catch up with its own progress before it can usher in a new change of any real meaning. Like I said, I honestly feel that sometime in the next few decades the economy is going to turn cannibalistic in a way, so hopefully things like racism and sex discrimation will be generally eradicated by then.

Another thing about aristocracies is that market mobility is probably going to become much more difficult in the coming years. This will make more and more oligarchies out of economic corners, to a point, and then fewer and fewer of these with consolidation of their interests.

I never planned on watching this happen, but the aftermath might make a good story.
