Across the world, societies are reverting to oligarchies. How to resist? Fight for democracy with all we’ve gotSeldom in recent history has class war been waged so blatantly. Generally, billionaires and hectomillionaires employ concierges to attack the poor on their behalf. But now, freed from shame and embarrassment, they no longer hide their involvement.
