The term "social darwinism" is an oxymoron. How ironic, applying evolutionary principles of physical characteristics to social, political, and economic phenomena. The social is establihed after many years of living in a condition of togetherness or community. Community is an intangible. The political is established when a social follows the form and structures of self-government set out in the Constitution. That's democracy and thats an intangible, but the relation of the top to the bottom is real. The form of the economy is established when the means of living and work are stabilized in a community and are used to produce products and the necessities of everyday life. For the latter, money is essential. Money is an arbitrary social convention that originaly had gold as its underlying support. That no longer exists. Money, like words and some language, free-floats in mental space. Ungrounded, in anything of value except for the paper its printed on and the metals upon which its imprinted. Its value is printed in the form of a number on the paper or imprinted on the metal. Money is not a social or political value and its certainly not a democratic value. Its a medium of exchange that facilitates exchange values. If all monies stays at the top of the social, the bottom will deconstruct. But, where will that leave the top? A top without a sympathetic bottom? That condition is no longer a government or a community. The top does not realize that its creating a rope with which it will hang its self. The bottom will mobilize and the result will be a real revolution. The mathmatics supports that result. The top are just a few, the bottom are legion. The top is intangible and abstract. The bottom of triadic government is 'mathmatical'; its real, concrete, and each individual at the bottom has to live. Its 'mathmatical' nature refers to each and everyone at the bottom. Hey, it refers to you and me.
