[lbo-talk] ruling class

In societies where political government is democratically elected, 
the laws are to a large degree in the hands of the ruled class 
(because they constitute the overwhelming majority of the people and 
their votes swamp the votes of the capitalist class.) This helps 
ensure that, to the extent possible within the context of capitalist 
economics, the legal structure will be acceptable by the majority and 
workable. Which is of immense benefit to the capitalist class.

Point of information:
Selection of candidates comes before election of law makers/judges and the
selectors are not members of the ruled class in a bourgeois democracy.
