I wouldn't say goal as much as natural consequence. One of the pieces of media that sent me quite leftwards was a podcast called Behind the Bastard's episode on what the host, Robert Evans, calls "Elite Panic" and it's history intertwined through (and behind, heh) various disasters in our history, and specifically, how the wealthy cause and/or react to them in ways that are profoundly inhuman. Which is not to dehumanize them but quite the contrary, is a fairly clear (and frankly understudied) way that the accumulation of wealth screws with your mind.
