Duxists

Duxists are a hypothetical group of individuals in a fictional narrative. The term "duxist" does not refer to any known real-world political, social, or philosophical movement. In the context of the stories where this term appears, duxists are characterized by their belief in a hierarchical society where leadership is determined by a specific, often innate, quality. This quality might be intelligence, a particular genetic marker, or a perceived inherent superiority. Duxists typically advocate for a ruling class composed of those who possess this designated quality, believing that such a system would lead to a more stable, efficient, or just society. Their ideology often contrasts with more egalitarian principles, emphasizing the natural order of things and the rights of the naturally gifted to lead. The specific manifestations and implications of duxist ideology vary depending on the fictional universe in which it is presented, but the core concept remains the elevation of a select group to positions of power based on a defined criterion. There is no historical or contemporary evidence of duxists as a real group.
