CLASS EVOLUTION
Just
as atomic evolution proceeds, through man, from
A
proton- and/or atomic-particle Kingdom to
An
atomic-wavicle Church, and then (following
the rise of a neutron-wavicle
Church) from
A
neutron- and/or electron-particle State to
An
electron-wavicle Centre,
So
class evolution mirrors a similar progression,
Beginning
with the proton- and/or atomic-particle
Aristocracy/peasantry,
continuing with
The
atomic-wavicle plutocracy/workers, beginning afresh
With the
neutron- and/or electron-particle
Bureaucracy/proletariat, and culminating with
The electron-wavicle meritocracy/superfolk.
During
the proton and atomic stages of evolution,
The
minority classes - namely aristocracy
And
plutocracy - exploit the majority classes
Of the peasantry and workers.
During
the neutron and/or electron
Stages
of evolution, however, the majority classes -
Namely
proletariat and superfolk - are served
By
the minority classes
Of the bureaucracy and meritocracy.
An
overlap from one class-stage to another
Does
of course obtain, though
The
emergence of a third class-stage
Renders the first untenable.
The
distinction, furthermore,
Between
particle and wavicle stages
Is
in regard to manual and intellectual work,
As befitting their respective natures.
Thus
whereas the peasantry and proletariat
Are
both engaged, according to
Their
particle biases, in manual work
(the first naturally, through toil in fields,
the second artificially, through toil in factories),
The
workers and superfolk, by contrast,
Are
engaged, according to their wavicle biases, in
Brain
work (the former naturally,
through clerical work, the latter supernaturally,
through the use, in research, of computers,
calculators, cassette recorders, and so on).
From field to factory, and from office to laboratory.
