your verry picture proves that france after revolution had something the ancien regime was sorely lacking: social mobility.  the guy standing there is a random corscian pleb who got there by being aa crafty cunt. unfathomable before as he had no noble family ties nor any connections. any elite that is functional is also porous: drop the incompetent retards down the social ladder, allow capable men to aaapss upwards. this is no longer the caase in the west, and that is far more important than whcih particular system we are running here.
