Reason:

Pro made a basic argument to relating to oligarchy, pro makes a similarly light counter, “Even if what you say is true, why can one class not be benevolent towards the other?”, this enough to cast doubt on pros point - but isn’t enough to justify his part of the resolution, this leads to a draw being the only rational conclusion.

Reason:

Both sides FF post-R1. Con baselessly asserts his own definitions but never defies the reasoning Pro gives of the following kind:

"the more authority there is the more class there is, and the more class there is the more the interests of the people at large and the people in power are divided. "

Pro wins, gg :) Nice one type1! :)
