Social Classes and Political Community
This chapter explores the intricate relationships between different social classes and their roles within political communities, drawing on philosophical theories from thinkers like Aristotle and Rancière. It investigates the concept of slums as a revolutionary class and the duality of the wealthy and impoverished rabble, while emphasizing the politicization of poverty in contemporary society. The discussion highlights historical examples and current challenges faced by disenfranchised groups, particularly through the lens of social uprisings and geopolitical dynamics.
