The governing group, along with the wealthy, educated and famous elites of the social elites. They combine their common institutions, standards of conduct, social bond and awareness of group membership. The elites are unstable – they collapse as a result of wars, revolutions, but also as a result of degeneration. The elites remain at the top of the social pyramid only when they have developed the ability to get rid of the degenerate elements and the inflow of fresh qualities that are useful in the next epoch of social development. At the same time degeneration is ongoing and continuous. Degeneration accelerates with the elimination of the elite for exchange with the environment. In the 20th century, the process of degeneration of the elite intensified through its participation in the lie of communism and in the system of fascist crimes. The rebirth of the elite requires education of conscience and increased responsibility for all social activities undertaken.
