Nobody "wins" without overwhelming power. Perhaps you would prefer the
massive battle of attrition (something with which the soviets have had a great deal of experience) over tactics which minimize your own casualties. Depends on definition of "overwhelming power" if you understand overwhelming power as overwhelming numbers you can find many examples in history,for example during Civil War and during WWII. You clearly know less about the present-day US, than you do about the USA of 1865. Perhaps what you really require is a slave- or peasant-class in the background before you can imagine a modern equivalent of your so-called "aristocracy". Unlike your assertions,I know present day US very well. If you want draw comparisons between present day US and other advanced nations,just watch and compare live TV apperances of our president,a graduate of an Ivy League elite university,with the live apperances of the leaders of other nations,for example Mr.Blair. Or just watch late night Shows. Aristocracys tend to spend their energies in pursuit of the past, and we are well rid of them, and their apologists. Surely we got rid of them in 1865 and thats the main reason why US is not a sophisticated country today. Lets look at Europa,they toppled aristocrats after French Revolution,but with a difference they toppled Aristocrats not Aristocracy.On contrary European elite who toppled Aristocracy embrace many malues of Aristocracy and more opened more elite schools like French Lycees and German Gymnasiums so that their childred could be edecated like Aristocrats. In other words Europeans made Aristocracy more accessible for general population,whereas US terminated aristocracy without any replacement. Thats the reason why even Graduates of Yale are only good to become laughingstock every night in Kimmel or Leno shows. |
