A problem with construing the issue may be your concept of normalcy. If at almost any other time in history someone had said that society was run by and for a certain family, the response would have been something like "Duh, obviously". The idea that we are born with a clean slate and that the ship of state is a passive inert thing whereby if you pull the right knobs you can get the same outcome as anyone else - that is a really radical and bizarre notion.
