Please don't mix concepts. Facism != Elitism

From day one, US has been using the same Elitism that Greek philosopher Plato has proposed. Elitism is based on democratic system. But it's a conditional democracy just like that in Athens in Plato's time. Pure democracy will not work since Mob will not effectively rule a country. The "mob" is a general word for less-educated people. The US elite is elected from each States and they become congressmen and women. They are elites because if you and me ("mob") will like to take their positions, we know we don't have the skills. And we can complain all we want about their poor job performance, but if we took their positions, we would surely perform worse. Elitism is in fact what most US and European countries are adopting. It has nothing to do with Facism.
