The Lawyer Sub-Aristocracy: A Sociological Look at Legal Status, Power, and Legitimacy

In a society that insists the law is neutral, the legal profession often operates like something else entirely: a status class that mediates power while claiming distance from it. This essay explores the “lawyer sub-aristocracy”—how prestige, credentials, networks, and courtroom culture create a professional layer that shapes who gets heard, who gets believed, and what justice is allowed to look like.

Maxim of Equal Suffering

Marxism promises an end to exploitation and class hierarchy, but in practice it often replaces unequal wealth with equal misery. When no one is allowed to rise above another, excellence and prosperity must be suppressed, and scarcity turns into a tool of control rather than a problem to solve. The result is not shared flourishing, but a grim uniformity—a system where “equality” is achieved by pulling everyone down to the same level of deprivation.
