I really want to hear an argument against elitism...
Well, the Elite is like the head of the class, right? And Elitism is the belief that Elites should rule/lead.

Well look at any feudal scoiety in history, where the little people are oppressed. Thats my argument against Elitism
It's partly that(according to Wikipedia) but I'll answer that part anyways instead of getting into the other. Since I believe the elites should be based on intelligence and hard work, the kind of people that would be ruling would be the kind that people would vote for anyways since they'd be the most qualified. So I guess if there was complete elitism(as I view it) it would be much different than now.
