In fact, this pyramyd is a realistic and descriptive animation of the human nature, and no doubt, will have the same hiearchy, ever...

Excuse me? "geniune intellectuals"?

Do I know you? Surely that sounded like you were trying to say that those who agree with this picture are not intellectual.

that is fallacy number one and rather insulting.

Character attack and strawman.
---

Number two, your suggestion that this picture is "human nature" is demonstrably false, as many societies throughout human history have existed WITHOUT the structure shown in this picture. The first to come to mind is many Native American tribes.

Because you called this picture "human nature" you have defacto labeled all societites, past and present, who have lived without this unnecesary structure as "non-human"

This is fallacy number 2

Demonizing and yet more strawman tactics.

---
Number three. This picture is not an "animation". animation is moving pictures designed to create the illusion of motion. this is merely a "drawing".
---
Your final falacy is that humans will have the same heirarchy forever. What about military societies? What about monastic societies like we see in budhist majorities? Nomadic societies surely dont follow this process as well? Are they not human? Or are they not following what you consider to be human nature?

A genuine intellectual? What the fuck is that? Pretty condescending from a new guy. Especially a wrong new guy.

So tell me: are you trolling or just stupid enough to insult the intelligence of someone for disagreeing with you? Heart

RE: Pyramid of Capitalism
I think we are still doing things 1800's style, but we have 2000's technology. That is a fundamental problem.

Communication
Computers

Why do we need a ruling class, we are all connected. Free ideas can flow, instant communication.
Why can't I vote on bills on my smart phone?
Why do we still work 8 hours a day, I'm sure 8 hours a day in 1900 was way less productive then 2000. So if we increase efficiency we just work the same to generate more product? Why not increase human leisure time.

I agree with all of your questions, and you dont have to be a leftist or socialist type to recognize that these are legitimate questions.
