Comment on I would rather live in a "class system" than a "caste system"

TTBOMK, THE difference between a “class” system & a “caste” system, is only mobility vs hereditary.

The English class system is a caste system that isn’t labelled as such: you don’t have mobility in it.


Also ttbomk, the original caste-system WASN’T life-long: you were in different castes during different parts of your life.

The conservatives reoriented it to being fixed, centuries ago.

iirc, it was King Ashoka who put the original in place?

Frawley wrote on it, some years ago, iirc…
