The "false business principle" creates false class distinctions or the social "upper class" and "lower class"
1322. And thus we find terrestrial mankind today deeply divided into two great "class distinctions": the "upper class" and the "lower class". Each of these classes can in turn be divided into smaller classes. This division into classes is based solely on how gifted one is at juggling with the artificial or "false business principle", and also how much one is favoured by this principle. If one is good at manifesting this principle, at camouflaging, promoting and using the power of suggestion on one's victims and using expensive advertisements to ensure for oneself the blessing of the large powerful newspapers, the spoils of exploitation will, as a stream of gold, immediately begin to flow into one's bank account, and one will be elevated to the "upper class". And here all other doors will begin to be opened for one; indeed, even in the halls of kings and princes one will be honoured and blessed with titles and orders for one's "outstanding services", for any "philanthropic activity" one has undertaken, for one's gifts to science and art or for other "overflow" that occurs where "business is done". Whether the "great man" may have begun accumulating his fortune as a "brothel keeper" or as a kind of "black-market racketeer" or suchlike is something that is only whispered about very quietly in the corners. The "great", much-decorated man will appear to have the blessing of the entire "general public". That one is the son or daughter of such a "great" man, or is related to him in another way, is naturally also an enormous advantage and eases access to "sponging" off society in a new way. By virtue of his stream of gold he can of course equip his relatives with all the necessary "weapons of business" and guarantees, or can buy companies and suchlike for them and arrange all the finer details that are required in order that a new stream or river of gold can begin to flow into their tills. He can thus give others a "start in life" and thereby propagate the "upper class". But through his economic superiority he can of course also guarantee his relatives the blessings of the "upper class", even though they may be less gifted and, from a "business" point of view, incompetent beings more suited to the idleness of the "upper class", their pleasant "pastimes" and talk of cars, clothes, the latest fashions, racing and hunting and so on. It is of course inevitable that the individuals of the "lower class" cannot participate in this dance around the golden calf.
