A Modest Proposal: Limiting the Franchise

[Banquo's Ghost]

You do realise "aristocrat" is just a word for, "managed to retain property over the generations", right?

To be fair to Beskar, this is incorrect. Aristocracy is a form of government based on power controlled by a hereditary elite. Property usually, but not essentially, forms part of the qualification. One can legitimately argue that aristocracy barely exists now, only nobility remains.

The blue-bloods should disappear as a footnote on the pages of History.

Needs of the aristocrats.. it is a complete joke, they shouldn't even exist in the 21st century.

At least with the burgeoisie, I will allow them to phase out like a ghost, with the aristocrats, bring in the guillotine.

Ah, mon petit Robespierre, that turned out well the last time. And it is telling, just like before, that it comes down to you alone permitting who lives and who dies.
