I hate any thought of the strong flourishing. Of the capable dominating society. Of anyone being better or deserving of more rights by virtue of being more intelligent, more confident, more whatever.
Not for a moment would I believe in equality. All of us are unequal. And that is why power is wasted on the strong. For there is none that is so in need of power, not for controlling others but merely for their own protection, as the weak. It is the weak, the infirm, the stupid, the outcast, the ones spurned by a cruel and unforgiving society that deserve power most of all, because everyone else can do with less of it and survive.
And I am weak. Yes, this is slave morality according to Nietzsche and I am proud of it. What does it matter, that I am weak? It matters a great deal, for I am deserving, all the more, of the protection of the strong. That if heaven sees fit to give them more, they are behaving unjustly if they do not use their power, or intellect, or strength, or whatever it is they have, for the benefit of others.
I want the weak to succeed. I want the strong to fail. I envision a society where the rich give way to the poor and the holders of power are truly the servants of the man in the street. Where a beggar, as of right, is of higher status than a head of state, and where the rich give away so much of their money to gain status by becoming poor that there is no need for taxation.
