Topic: Class societies

	[No title]
		By focusing on class society it is possible to come to the conclusion that the form of exploitation is the key to understanding the form of the society.
		Class struggle between laborers and foremen, the "chief of the boatmen" or the "chief of the herdsmen" was one of the issues in society the factions within the dominant group could use to advance their own interests against other factions of the dominant group.
		Because the emergence of class was contingent on the emergence of the state, because the state was constitutive of the emergent class relations, the newly emergent state was the nodal point at which the stability of the social formation could be contested or protected.

	CLASS
		Class Societies are evaluated on their performance over the previous three years based on their detention ratio.
		Detention ratios are the total number of detentions, over a three year period, that were directly associated with that class society (class related detentions), divided by the total number of distinct vessel arrivals that the class society had in the United States for that same three-year period.
		Class societies with a detention ratio of less than 0.5% will not be targeted.

	Marx on Social Class
		Class conflict of this sort results in historical change and is the motive force in the history o f capitalism.
		This yields a model of class relations which is basically dichotomous [since some own and others do not, some work and others live off the fruits of those who labour]: all class societies are built around a primary line of division between two antagonistic classes, one dominant and the other subordinate.
		Class structures are primary in determining the main social classes, the main forms of struggle within societies, and the life experiences of people in these classes.

		The working class is a social class often contrasted with middle class and upper class in terms of the nature of work undertaken (manual labor or skilled), the level of remuneration (typically low hourly rates although there are exceptions) and access to resources (limited access to capital, education and land).
		Descending from this distinction, the phrase "middle class" came to be used in the United Kingdom during the 18th century to describe the professional and business class, as distinct from both the titled nobility and the landed gentry on the one hand and the agricultural and (increasingly) industrial laborers on the other.
		Marxism defines social classes not according to the wealth or prestige of their members, but according to their relationship with the means of production: a noble owns land; a capitalist owns capital; a worker has the ability to work and must seek employment in order to make a living.

		Marriage across classes is also common, except at the extremes of the range, and it is now far more influenced by status, such as educational and cultural aspects, rather than class: there are also influences from 'racial, religious and ethnic/national' variables (675).
		Class was diminishing already in its effects when trade unions and class-based political parties were still active -- between 1900 and 1970.
		Class politics then took place in the context of bureaucratically organised mass parties, a welfare state, with institutionalised conflict, with better political organisation on the left, and with a period of revolutionary events for inspiration as well.

	An anarchist analysis of Womens' Oppression (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It's generally accepted that in hunter/gatherer societies the status of women was relatively high and that women's social position deteriorated with the development of class society.
		Thus, the working class can only be mobilised and united for battle and victory if this is on the basis of a consistent fight against capitalism, the state and all forms of oppression.
		Prostitution is symptomatic of a hierarchical and sexist society.

	Social class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social classes with a great deal of power are usually viewed as elites, at least within their own societies.
		Classes are seen to have their origin in the division of the social product into a necessary product and a surplus product.
		For example, Bourdieu seems to have a notion of high and low classes comparable to that of Marxism, insofar as their conditions are defined by different habitus, which is in turn defined by different objectively classifiable conditions of existence (principally cultural capital and economic capital).

		In effect, he is a member of society as an equal who has a defined role that carries prestige but not wealth and recognition but not status.
		In ranked societies people are divided into hierarchically ordered groups that differ in terms of prestige, but not significantly in terms of access to resources or power.
		The chiefdom society is also more complex and more organized, being particularly distinguished from tribes by the presence of centers which coordinate economic, social and religious activities.

		But class does not charge fees related to this exposure, it charges for the services performed, and fees are not related to the size or value of the asset.
		Class can omit to discover something which should have been discovered, but that is the extent of its potential to contribute to risk.
		Class has no control over the level of maintenance, training, manning, and supervision of the vessel and the areas where it trades, not to forget the cargoes it carries.

	The General Rules for the Methodist Class Meetings
		Such a society is no other than "a company of men having the form and seeking the power of godliness, united in order to pray together, to receive the word of exhortation, and to watch over one another in love, that they may help each other to work out their salvation."
		There is only one condition previously required of those who desire admission into these societies: "a desire to flee from the wrath to come, and to be saved from their sins." But wherever this is really fixed in the soul it will be shown by its fruits.
		These are the General Rules of our societies; all of which we are taught of God to observe, even in his written Word, which is the only rule, and the sufficient rule, both of our faith and practice.

	International Socialist Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In societies where aggressiveness and dominance are valued, these behaviors accrue disproportionately to males, and the females are common targets, resulting in the lowering of their status.
		Everywhere, once settled agricultural societies were formed, some lineages, lineage elders or "big men" could begin to gain prestige through their role in undertaking the redistribution of the little surplus that existed in the interests of the group as a whole.
		What is indisputable is that the onset of class society brought with it a universal shift toward patrilineage–and, more importantly, the role of men as "heads" of their households.

	Re-evaluation Counseling - A Modern Philosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Class societies evolved through greed but were tolerated as tools to master the environment more effectively, and functioned to that end through allowing some members of the society time and leisure to think, to accumulate knowledge, and to plan the activities of the society.
		All class societies which we and our ancestors have experienced and participated in to date have been oppressive societies, in which the value produced by the work of most of the people was taken from them by the ruling classes in a kind of "legal" robbery.
		All such societies to date have operated primarily to organize this exploitation of the majority of the people by a ruling minority.

	On the Rise and Fall of Class Societies
		The dynamics is described by the joint evolution of the wage rate, the vertical division of labor between employers and workers, and the distribution of household wealth.
		For some parameter values, the model predicts the rise of class societies, where the households are permanently separated into the two classes in any steady state.
		For other parameter values, the model predicts the fall of class societies, where job creation by the rich employers pushes up the wage rate so much that the workers will escape from the poverty and eventually catch up with the rich.
