LEF

"Liberté, egalité, fraternité!" says the old war-cry of revolutionary democracy. It has always been otherwise. No man is free except when he is in chains, no man is equal unless the claim to be equal supersedes other claims, no brotherhood exists except where that distinction makes sense.

And here is an interesting article on what to observe when you are analysing the invisible hierarchies of the world.
