If the aristocracy has become so abstract that it includes Kickstarter then the word has lost all meaning.



1. Kickstarter is very new 2. Kickstarter is so small as to basically being a rounding error


So when Kickstarter is bigger or if you consider all crowdfunding then it is an aristocracy? My point still holds. If reality gets in the way of dogma you might want to abandon your dogma.


Your esoteric examples are irrelevant. Come back when a significant percentage of the population finance their house with crowdfunding rather than a mortgage. You seem to be grasping at straws to defend your dogma, and quite honestly you drew a pretty short straw.
