Socialism for only one type of people. Where have I heard that before ? Calvinist ? Elons idea sounds like National Socialism with extra steps. Then again Elon has been mask off for a while.
The belief that there's a special "elect" that is powerful because they deserve power and that the powers that command the universe favor the powerful because power is good is pretty Calvinistic sounding to me. And yes, extending that further does look awfully familiar.
Speaking of which I finally got around to reading settlers and I remember right off the bat, that it discussed that the mythology of America and “egalitarianism” really meant class solidarity among the white bourgeoisie. Even a settler bragged that America is the place where “no one had to work” (except those filthy browns of course, but they’re not people. Just the help.)

Reminds me of Ancient Greek utopianists, who envisioned ideal society as such, where the lowliest farmer had at least three slaves.
