There are only two classes.  A philosophy of war is being pushed if more than that is being referred to.  These classes can be divided up by: language, race, sex, and just about anything you can imagine.  The classes are the tax consumers and the tax producers.  It is not certain professions, education level, skin color, etc.    The philosophy of war has made itself safe from criticism by name calling.  Opposing war philosophy is unfashionable.

The many classes are closely related to the caste system.  Each caste aims at new privileges at the expense of the rest.  The privileges cannot be equal.  What is gained in additional profit is absorbed by the higher prices of other privileges.  Then they must be unequal, or they’re not privileges at all.  Some benefit at the expense of the many.  Capitalism uprooted the caste system, but there is a clear trend heading towards castes.

Various businesses do compete, but not in the biological sense.  They are simply trying to serve the customer the best.  They are not devouring each other.  In other words, they must convince you for business, or to hand over your money.  The scale covered beast will compel you to hand over your money.  The irreconcilable conflict is between the tax producers and tax consumers.  It’s not between the invented classes.  There is solidarity in the long run.

Irreconcilable conflicts are not inherent under capitalism.  Irreconcilable conflicts are the result of the scale covered beast granting privileges.  Interference with the market creates a new caste system.  Incompetent capitalist and entrepreneurs will go out of business and be replaced by those who will better serve the consumer.    Those incompetent individuals can lobby for privileges.  This way, those incompetent individuals can stay in business and the masses are harmed.

Present day conflicts are because we are going back to a caste system.  Domestic classes are fighting each other because of this war philosophy.  Capitalism creates a situation where there is a harmonious class interest.  We can enjoy a better and more comfortable way of life.  Trends have changed and have always changed.  They can change again.  The philosophy of peace and prosperity must be understood and pursued.
