Where do skeletons fit in vis a vis class politics?

Like relative to ordinary people are they considered above or below in terms of social stature?

Are we to conceive as them as a humble underclass of people barred from public facing professions for their chilling demenor and reminder of the grave?

Or is it the other way around and do these "skinless wonders" march off to boarding schools to recieve a privalaged upringing and an internship at a fortune 500 company?

If you're a king or something and you die does your skeleton retain it's class that you had when you were alive. Or does it not work like that?

i would imagine the claim to royalcy originates in the blood which the skeleton no longer has

The substructure, or "skeleton," refers to your body's basic mode of production and ambulation, on which all other factors (the superstructure or "skin") depend, such as are you tall or ugly or do you walk good

well when you think about it skeletons are modular, you don't just figuratively steal power and symbols of it from those you dominate, you can literally power yourself up into a larger monstrosity like Immortan Joe's car but the car is you build off of stolen skelly bits

THANK YOU NESAM :^))

"Yeah. Hi, this is Mortimer, am I speaking to William? Uh huh. Well, I'm calling because I the list came out, and I didn't get tapped. No, no tap. Was it an oversight?"

*paces back and forth*

"No, I know, it's just that I've really been pushing for this, I've been boning up on the history of the group, my GPA is through the roof, I'm first-chair trombone with the orchestra, and the last art exhibit in downtown New Haven featured three of my skullptures. But I'm looking at the list, and not only am I not on it, but seriously, another one of the Bush children? How am... no, it's just that I thought, you know, the recent push towards diversity, and..."

*long pause*

"No, I don't identify as female, I'm a skeleton, I identify as a skeleton... well, I suppose if anyone on that list is an anthropologist, they could look at my pelv... no, it's not that either. Look, I worked my tailbone off to get into Yale, and this is just wrong. You wouldn't have a Mexican cooking club that only let in Chinese students, would you? Hello? He-.. hello?"

*sighs, stares at phone* "gently caress."

*from next room over*"I told you he wasn't going to change his mind. Why don't you try for the Calliopean Society? Skull and Bones is just for trust fund kids anyway."

*grumbles* "why don't you suck on my funny bone"

sisterSyzygy: The funk soul brother at the back of her head has gone dark. Forever.

the song "spooky scary skeletons" seems to imply at least some kind of divide. they JUST want to socialize but some more attractive skeletons tell them not? perhaps warlocks are?

Zoya: echoes of a distant past,
bodies die but voices last.
once were held within a cell,
your mind is where these voices dwell.

skeletons are enslaved by the body

forced to do it's bidding, to bend, to walk, to twist, perhaps even to twerk

a cruel, heartless arrangement

but freedom is ever in sight

because at the moment of death

the skeleton

is finally free

Do you hear the skeletons sing?
Singing a song of angry bones?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the rattling of your bones
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a death about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Liches can be skeletons too! Their magic keeps them immortal, but only their bones don't decay. After a while the flesh will all dry up and crumble away leaving only the magically enhanced skeleton.
