I get to put on my Professor's Cap! An Explanation: Middle-Class Makes Big Difference in a Society

Up to this Century there were inklings of democratic societies but just inklings--e.g., ancient Greece, which isn't that ancient in terms of the earth's longevity.  Remember, Athens was defeated by Sparta.

The real reason why society has continued to advance this far is because of the rise of the middle-class.  The wealthy can't continue to put forth any Big Lie that its society must buy.  And of course, the fourth estate came along just to help things for a new society that was taking shape with the middle-class its major feature, I contend.

Now, you can see the importance of labor unions to assure the middle-class will have a place carved into the social fabric.  An institutional thereness from generation to generation.  It's the fighting force for equality, which maintains a tension between wealth and the poverty classes.  (In Jesus' time, the poor had a vision of peace that would be in the offing, if the wealthy class could ever be tamed; and old-fashioned slavery virtually eliminated--when the military and police controlled the social setting for the sake of a transitory peace attained through treaty among warring societies.

Next in the offing?  What will come after democracy?  For today, let's just concentrate on the task before the planet: to assure that progress of the race will continue for the good of all inhabitants by making the developing middle class happy--even happier than a basically two-class society--the two groups in this 3-class society of the 22nd Society with its newest addition on the scene.

Currently, Russia has been experiencing in the last 30 years the rise of its middle-class.  Ms. Applebaum, in her recent paper appearing in Atlantic (a must-read piece, December, 2021), accounts how it is responding to  apparent indications of a rising middle-class, that has already been woven into the fabric in the Western World: namely, Russia wants to be left alone to continue its nefarious promulgation of a class society dominated by the rich and powerful over the other citizenry within its sphere of influence.

Hang on!  Here we go!
