Social history seems to be a struggle for power between the elite and the common man, between men and women.
Socialism is seen as rule by the common man, capitalism rule by the elite.
Radicalism v Conservatism, Revolution v Counter-Revolution.
Conservatism is always on the defensive, it would appear, and can only be defended by religion.
For the past 50 years, we have been saying to each other "Why not? Why don't we? Go on, go on, go on!" before embarking on yet another disastrous policy misadventure, as we have been doing, for perhaps too long.
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
