Jimmy Carter? Richard Nixon? Bill Clinton? They weren’t members of
the ruling class by social or institutional ties that preceded their
attainment of office.
If the ruling class are pacific, why do they exclude pacifists?
I explicitly said that the ruling class isn’t pacific. And you’ve yet
to demonstrate why the examples I gave - e.g., City opposition to
entry into WW I, New York capitalists’ desire to appease the South in
the 1850s, they mysterious lack of evidence of oil industry agitation
for the invasion of Iraq - aren’t problems to be explained.
