Jefferson was a real American, Hamilton was a little bitch and he died like one.

Marx's.

Jefferson wanted an agrarian society where you can be left alone (to rape your slave girls **cough! cough**) But let's be honest, Jefferson was a proto-libertarian aspie. He also forgot to take industrialization into account and failed to consider the opportunities of big cities.

Hamilton may have not been "American" but he sure contributed a fuckload to its creation. He was right in fearing the masses and their possible idiocy and bigotry. He wanted centralized rule, however I feel he was too heavily in favor with the bourgeoisie and (with the establishment of a central bank) was too focused on elite rule, not even eventual emancipation from statism. Maybe if he lived a century later, he may have been a Marxist.

That one. Marx was not only correct he was a much better writer.

Pre-civil war: Jefferson.
Post-war: Hamilton.

Industrialization killed the dream of having an agrarian society.

*schniff* my got, this is precisely what is meant when it is said as phrase popularized as "pure ideology" and so on

>>6235035
but anon, everything is ideology. You chose to eat a sandwich and not a hotdog? Ideology. You slept on the left side of the bed and not the right? Ideology. I absolutely mean this. The ripple effects of what we believe extend to the furthest corners and crevices of our personalities, our actions, our thoughts--everything. You "believe" an action is better than another...this belief constitutes a miniature ideology as part of a greater one. Capitalism isn't the default. There is no default. All is ideology.
