What Elites Are You Talking About?

Home > Haiti Elections Archives 2005 Forum > Charles Henry Baker > what elites are you talking about?

they are part of a dominant socio-economic group, but not an elite.

stop empowering these people with the noble term elite.

elites are substantially the best products of our human potential, which we have not yet produced.

a man like fatton, simeus, and rene depestre would have been part of elites if we have had any. a subcontrator in a monopolitic economy with no active exercise of economic inovation cannot be considered a member of an elite, the elites are potentially within the people, not yet developped for it will require revolutionary changes in our perceptions to arrive at the pinnacle of humanhood.
don't you see that there is something inherently wrong in the calling of men like the martino brothers elites, but rene depestre or simeus, middle class.

on what logical basis, underachievers are being called elites, while overachievers, middle class?
by what meaningful standards are we constructing these classifications?
