Throughout recorded time, there have been 3 kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low.They have been subdivided in many ways,they have borne countless names,and their relative numbers, as well as their attitude toward one another,have varied from age to age; but the essesntial structure of society has never altered. Even after enormous upheavals and seemingly irrevocable changes, the same pattern has always reasserted itself, just as a gyroscope will always return to equilibrium,however far it is pushed one way or the other.

The aims of these three groups are irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are, The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim- for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives- is to abolish all distinctions and create society in which all men shall be equal. Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its main outlines occurs over and over again. For long periods the High seem to securely be in power, but sooner or later there comes a moment when they lose either their belief in themselves, or their capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back to their old position of servitude and themselves become the High.
