And I don't think it's more so related to Introversion/Extroversion instead, as that would make little sense for LII vs. ILE (e.g. Marx). The time IEI don't spend "Fe-ing" to large groups isn't really spent being some sort of Analytical powerhouse. More so, it's spent on something like artistic expression (note the tendency towards poetry and other Analytically inefficient storage medium) or manipulating smaller groups. After all, traces of a lot of Beta "revolutionary ideas" can be found (in often more coherent forms) years earlier among the thought experiements of someone like an Aristotle. I do think some Aristocrats may use some Democratic functioning though.
