"Aristocrat” and “The Community” are dialogues that take place among friends through the course of a night. “Aristocrat” is concerned with what it means to want to rule, with the comparison of aristocracy to democracy, and with duty. The friends begin by touching upon excellence, aristocracy’s traditional claim to rule. They soon come to question whether there are in fact but two true claims to rule — force, or a system of belief. In addition they ponder their commitment to “the cause,” a potentially transpolitical cause. “Aristocrat” attempts to answer several “whats” — what is “the cause,” what does it involve, and what does it mean to serve.
