It makes a lot of sense that we live in oligarchies when you realise that the entire economic system — every business — is an oligarchy; competing with other oligarchies. Businesses where the majority owner/shareholder is 1 person are basically dictatorships. Family owned businesses are dynasties. We're really a stones throw from the feudalism and monarchs of old.
It's kind of mentally ill to believe that the entire economic system could be structured this way, but the political system could be democracy; the exact opposite...
We are. But we have rallied again in the past and had gains. They have been chipping at the gains. It can be won back.
We all know there is another way. We have to not go oh well this is it now. It wasn’t and it does not have to be.
Oh I'm not advocating for hopelessness. Radical change is required. That will only happen if we reframe the curated, manufactured narratives and assert reality. The revolution will not be televised because it takes place in peoples minds.
