At least I can’t think of a period of human history, or a political system, where the richest families within it, didn’t have much more power than the ordinary

Bolshevik Revolution, China's revolution, Iran's Islamic revolution... Plenty of examples of middle class/upper middle class leaders overthrowing the richest families and seizing control. Now in most cases those who take control end up enriching themselves but the point still stands.
- fisheuler 5y agoyes, especially the culture revolution initialed and directed by Mao in the sixties period of china。 Mao wanted to throw the top Party bureaucracy with the help of the bottom people, but the endeavor have failed. Hope we can find a suitable mechanism to cope with this worldwide hard problem.
