    It’s always been an oligarchy (aside from a short period after ww2 which generated an incredible climb in prosperity for the entire country, then the boomers pulled the ladder up after themselves and set fire to it). It’s just completely mask-off now. If USAmericans want to have a non-serf short term and survive long term, they have to start hunting billionaires.

      It was more that the oligarchs waged a sustained, generation-long counter-revolution, starting with their smarmy mouthpiece Reagan.
