Let us avoid metaphysics together. But if you have a description from your experience of a compelling authority over the ruling class, I would like you to share that with me. My experience tells me such an authority is some type of ‘general will’ or ‘banding together’ (i.e., a religion) of like minded actors, who compel compliance to their orthodoxy with a collective sanctioning and suppression of types of thinking.
