White trash is a derogatory racial and class-related slur used in American English to refer to poor white people, especially in the rural southern United States. The label signifies a social class inside the white population and especially a degraded standard of living. It is used as a way to separate the "noble and hardworking" "good poor" from the lazy, "undisciplined, ungrateful and disgusting" "bad poor". Use of the term provides for middle- and upper-class whites a means of distancing themselves from the poverty and powerlessness of poor whites, who cannot enjoy those privileges.

The philosopher Plato categorized governments into five types of regimes : aristocracy, timocracy, oligarchy, democracy, and tyranny. Plato illustrates each of these regimes in the Republic with a prototypical man with the characteristics of the regime. Plato argues that some of these regimes are intrinsically superior to others and that the five regimes have a tendency to progressively degenerate starting with aristocracy at the top and tyranny at the bottom. The five regimes system shows that Plato did not hold a high opinion of democracy in general.
