The progressive fixation on “oligarchy” is a diversion from class struggle.

because they mean oligarchy. I like capitalism when its taxed properly with social safety nets and highly regulated. Its great for things that don't matter like tvs or toys. provided there is competition. anytime there is no competition or for anything everyone needs. well that should be government run and avialable to all.
