I need to think through this because it seems important.

This is the first I’ve heard of Hoffer, and I’m under the impression he speaks on behalf of the ruling class that is trying to win over or manipulate the weak, but they can’t do this by sharing the wealth, as per his quote in your post.

Thanks for your post in 13: Both the quote and your explanation of it are mind blowing!
