I would disagree and say most countries, but not all are in the Vaeshyan era
(or capitalist/accumulaor era)
In the flow of the social cycle, a class is always dominant.
Since originally there had not been any well knit social system, we may
call the then stage the workers era. In those days all were laborers and
toilers. Then came the era of the valiant, which we may term the era of the
warrior or the martial era. This was followed by the intellectual era.
Finally came the era of traders and business-people, the commercialist or
capitalist era. As a result of the rapacity of the capitalist era, when the
warriors and intellectuals were relegated to the level of workers, there came
the
proletariat revolution. As the workers had neither a strongly built
society, nor had enough intelligence, the post-capitalist administration
went into the hands of those that had taken over the leadership of the
proletariat revolution. These people were brave and courageous, and so it
was they that foreshadowed the advent of the martial era for the second
time. After the successive order of
worker-martial-intellectual-capitalist eras comes revolution, and then
again the second cycle of similar successive order begins, culminating in
the next revolution. Thus goes the social cycle.
