Egalitarianism brings death to society, transforming citizens to zombies

Greece has five classes of people: The untouchables, the drones, the clergy, the Graecoons, and the slaves.  The untouchables are the Graecokleptocrats and their kith and kin.  Nobody can touch them, because Graecokleptocrats enjoy impunity.  The drones are the public employees, who hold sinecures, whose main function is to collect bribes.  The clergy consists of thousand priests and gay bishops, whose main function is to dumb down hoi polloi and promote Graecokleptocrats.  The Graecoons are all those shipping magnates, who hold the largest commercial fleet on Earth, who bypass Graecokleptocrats.  The slaves are all hard-working hoi polloi, who are harassed to death by Graecokleptocrats and the drones.

New research from the London School of Economics and Political Science shows that the class structure in England is evolving far more slowly than previously believed.
                 
A study of surname distributions over the past 800 years reveals it takes at least half a millennium for the UK’s elite class to shake off their lineage and converge with the average members of society – at least 400 years slower than economists had earlier predicted.
                 
Dr Neil Cummins, an economic historian from LSE, says that despite significant political, industrial, social and economic changes over the past eight centuries, social mobility in England has been much slower.

“Just take the names of the Normans who conquered England nearly 1000 years ago. Surnames such as Baskerville, Darcy, Mandeville and Montgomery are still over-represented at Oxbridge and also among elite occupations such as medicine, law and politics,” Dr Cummins says.
                 
Research by Dr Cummins and Professor Gregory Clark from UC-Davis reveals that even mass publicly funded education and universal voting rights have not improved social mobility in England.
                 
Through the study of the genealogical history of English families with rare surnames, using data provided by Ancestry.com, wealth, education and occupational status was highly heritable.
                 
“What is surprising is that between 1800 and 2011 there have been substantial institutional changes in England but no gain in rates of social mobility for society as a whole.”
                 
Their study also revealed that underlying social status, as revealed by education, is more strongly inherited than height.

Graecokleptocrats are the shitscum of planet Earth, whereas Graecoons make the world move around.  That’s why Graecoons must replace Graecokleptocrats in the Greek government.

Greek tychoons, aka Graecotycoons or Graecoons, have major impact on global shipping and trade. Ordinary Greeks seldom harass Graecoons, for the simple reason they have no idea where to find them, Monaco, London, Switzerland, God only knows! To a Lower-99% Greek an Upper-1% Greek is invisible. A Graecoon pays no taxes, lives no place, and bears no relationship to miserable Greeks of Graecokleptocracy.  As the Lower-99% Greeks expects nothing of Graecoons, an Upper-1% Greek always exceeds their expectations!  The Upper-1% is the Atlas that supports the Earth on his shoulders.  When Atlas shrugs the Lower-99% will not have a prayer!   Greeks admire and cherish Graecoons.

Greeks have one trillion of euros safely stored in tax havens.  Greece is a poor country with very rich people. Greeks are horrible citizens but enthusiastic patriots.  Greek-owned ships transport a quarter of the world's seaborne cargo. But the world's largest merchant fleet does not have any major impact on the Greek economy, because shipping revenues are not taxed, in accordance with the Greek constitution. If this protection were abolished, the shipping companies would move to other countries the same day. Shipping companies usually register their fleets in Liberia, Panama, and offshore centers, but the administrative offices are in the Athens-Piraeus area.

Graecoons have always been secretive in nature, especially when it comes to their fortunes. Assessing the ultimate value of Greek private sector wealth is an impossible task, because much of the money exists offshore, secreted away in Swiss bank accounts or invested in real estate in London and Monaco.  But it must be in trillion euros. Now, with Tsipras talking more and more about nationalizing companies and industries and taxing the rich, Graecoons are ready to flee Greece.  

Greece’s income tax revenue is seven percent of gross domestic product, well below the eleven percent average for euro zone countries. Even so, there has been little talk by recent governments or even by Greece’s financial backers about imposing taxes on shipping companies, a move that would prompt them to take their offices elsewhere.  That would be a blow Greece would have trouble absorbing. The shipping industry employs about a quarter million people, and it brings in twenty billion euros in foreign exchange every year, making it the country’s top single foreign-exchange earner.  Greek shipowners are also some of the country’s largest investors, owning large tracts of real estate and interests in tourism, banking, and media.

Aristotle Onassis was the most celebrated Graecoon, married to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Wishing to honor the memory of his son Alexander, who died in 1973, in an airplane crash at the age of 25, Aristotle Onassis directed in his will that half of his estate should be transferred upon his own death to a foundation to be established in Alexander’s name. In 1975, the executors of the estate accordingly established a pair of foundations, incorporated in Vaduz, Liechtenstein: the Business Foundation, which acts as a holding company for the underlying business interests, and the Alexander Onassis Public Benefit Foundation which is the sole beneficiary of the Business Foundation. All activities of the Alexander Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, from the time of its establishment to the present, are funded exclusively by the profits of the Business Foundation which engages mainly in shipping and real estate investments. The Foundation aims at promoting Greek culture and civilization throughout the world.

Stavros Niarchos was the second celebrated Graecoon. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation is an international philanthropic organization, making grants in the areas of arts and culture, education, health and medicine, and social welfare. While prominent in its support of Greek-related initiatives, the Foundation’s activities are worldwide in scope. Having started its grant-making activities following Stavros Niarchos’ death in 1996, the Foundation adheres in its mission to his global legacy, Greek heritage, and interest in providing underserved populations with access to opportunity. With offices in New York City, Athens, and Monte Carlo, the Foundation funds institutions that have the potential to achieve a broad and lasting impact. 

The Latsis family has made its fortune in the shipping industry, but in the last decade it has made investments, spearheaded by Spiros Latsis, in petroleum, finance, and real estate. The family owns half of the EFG Eurobank and a third of Hellenic Petroleum. It has also developed companies providing luxurious yachts and private jets. Spiros has a PhD in economics from the London School of Economics.

Theodore and Gianna Angelopoulos have been in the spotlight of Greek politics and business for years. Gianna was at the helm of organizing the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Theodore's family developed the steel industry in Greece, and he evolved to become a shipping magnate. He acquired the Dutch shipbuilding company oceAnco, transforming it to a leading shipbuilder of custom-built luxury mega-yachts.
