This is really good stuff.

I've been yammering on and on about Oligarchy as an archetypical form of government much beloved by TPTB and I was never even aware of the Italian school.

Much appreciated work.

I discovered your Substack from reading the “Editor’s Introduction” to the book by Lobaczewski “Political Ponerology: The Science of Evil, Psychopathy and the Origins of Totalitarianism.” I look forward to reading this Substack as I get into Lobaczewski.

Your summary above immediately reminded me of the current push by “elites” for “Equity” in contradiction to “Equality of Opportunity.” The ruling elites will find it much easier to control and manage those who are chosen not by talent, hard work and excellence but by race, sex, gender, connections etc., they know it.
