[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5. Monarchist (My ideal regime would be a Protestant monarchical/aristocratic state, with very distinct classes. (ie, the nobility, the clergy, the warrior class/military, the merchants/white collar workers, and the surfs/blue collar workers.  There would be a very small chance of mobility, but the opportunity to become a cleric should certainly be open to anyone who feels they are called to it. [/quote]

Sounds lovely if you're born into the nobility, not so ideal if you--and all your progeny--are doomed to serfdom just because you were born to serfs.[/quote]

Well I'd rather be a medieval serf than a kid living in the projects today. However, what you're saying isn't really relevant to what I'm saying. Hypothetically, let's say the modern Protestant monarchy that I outlined above was established. The people I call "serfs" wouldn't be serfs in the way that you're thinking. Let me clarify a bit.  In a modern monarchic state, the "serfs" would be blue collar workers. (mechanics, construction workers, average farmers, etc) They'd have rights, and would licw a fairly comfortable life.  However, they would not be allowed to demand things like college. College would only be for the aristocracy and the clergy. There would probably be a few military colleges for the warriors as well. Blue collar workers/serfs) would start out by becoming an apprentice for a few years to a guy who is already working in the profession that they are to work in. The same goes for lower class white collar workers.(ie, salesmen) Everyone (no matter their class) would get some education. There wiould be elite private schools (for the aristocracy and clergy), military schools (for the warriors/military), K-8 parochial/vocational schools (for serfs/blue collar workers), and homeschooling(anyone could do this) College would only be an option for aristocrats, clergymen, and warriors/military.  I could ecpand a lot more on this, but I've got to get to bed. [/quote]
