    I have no disagreement with calling our system an oligarchy. It’s part of why I’m pro-socialism.

    Money isn’t the only thing driving the oligarchy, but it’s way up there on my list.

    Profound, immeasurable wealth is a blight and a hallmark of poor mental health.

      Well that’s something we can agree on. Politics of any society that allows mass wealth inequality will end up being captured by those who have the wealth. The only way to have a just society is by limiting inequality. And in my view, Americans should not run around the world and interfere in other countries pretending to do it for some grand standing purposes like spreading democracy while their own society is profoundly sick. Fix yourselves and stop playing world police. Let other countries deal with their own problems, and we’ll all be in a better place.
