A true servative learns everything they will need to know for the duration of their life by the age of 13.
They die basically the same kinds of people they were born as.

“Stop trusting your lying eyes and trust my worthless spreadsheets instead.”
The Dems are just in favor of a slightly less brutal oligarchy. The Dems by and large still take a lot of money and other favors from the billionaires and know which side their bread is buttered on.
The Dems today are not a party for the poor, the workers, the bottom 50%, or anything like that. Thus the current Dems on their own are not up to the task of any serious economic restructuring. And we can’t solve any major problem without dealing with our insane wealth inequality.
I get that the billionaires can’t do it alone, but my point is, without the elites the fascist/capitalist base by itself isn’t sufficiently organized or motivated to run an oligarchy.
The billionaires are the brain of that organism.
That analysis is true only if the base is the target of the violence. Targeting the base is a big mess. But if the targets are the prime beneficiaries of the status quo, just the 0.01%, there is no mess. But that requires discipline, research, patience. Not just anyone can pull that off.
The rich don’t just use it, they finance it and manage it.
Because most Dems like the status quo and despise populism.
