Err no. Let me educate you a bit. The word aristocracy is an ancient Greek word that means “Rule of the most capable/best”.

[Tainnor]

I'm aware, having taken Ancient Greek in high school, thank you very much. Meanings shift. An aristocracy is not a meritocracy and is mostly distinguished by its reliance on social status instead of actual merit.

See e.g.: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/aristocr...

I’m Greek so I’m using the actual meaning of the word, not the one produced by Western hegemony.

[Tainnor]

We're speaking English here and not Greek.

[bilvar]

I’m not asking you to speak Greek, just to respect it.

[samatman]

Aristocracy is not a Greek word. You're confusing it with the Greek word aristocracy. Hope that helps.

But we're speaking English.
