In Aristotle's "Politics" (eight books) he discusses various forms of government, finally settling on monarchy, an aristocracy of of men of virtue, or constitutional government of the majority. Slavery was considered natural in Aristotle's politics, because some men are adapted by nature to be the physical instruments of others. Thus the Aristotelian politician believes in aristocracy of the gifted and they shall therefore dispense crumbs to the masses after the privileged have been secured. All men float without life jackets and only the strong should survive. This is an Aristotelian Political Arrogance. It was a dominant theme in USA's politics up until Roosevelt introduced Social Security System and the well fare system during the depression.
