Thom Hartmann, the most popular progressive radio host in America and a New York Times best-selling author, looks at the history of the battle against oligarchy in America - and how we can win the latest round.
Billionaire oligarchs want to own our republic, and they’re nearly there, thanks to legislation and Supreme Court decisions that they have essentially bought. They put Trump and his political allies into office and support a vast network of think tanks, publications, and social media that every day push our nation closer and closer to police-state tyranny.
The United States was born in a struggle against the oligarchs of the British aristocracy, and ever since then, the history of America has been one of dynamic tension between democracy and oligarchy. And much like the shock of the 1929 crash woke America up to glaring inequality and the ongoing theft of democracy by that generation’s oligarchs, the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has laid bare how extensively oligarchs have looted our nation’s economic system, gutted governmental institutions, and stolen the wealth of the former middle class.
Thom Hartmann traces the history of this struggle against oligarchy from America’s founding to the United States’ war with the feudal confederacy to President Franklin Roosevelt’s struggle against “economic royalists” who wanted to block the New Deal. In each of those cases, the oligarchs lost the battle. But with increasing right-wing control of the media, unlimited campaign contributions, and a conservative takeover of the judicial system, we’re at a crisis point.
Now is the time for action, before we flip into tyranny. We’ve beaten the oligarchs before, and we can do it again. Hartmann lays out practical measures we can take to break up media monopolies, limit the influence of money in politics, reclaim the wealth stolen over decades by the oligarchy, and build a movement that will return control of America to we, the people.

Bezos: liberal, Gates: liberal,Dorcey: liberal, Zuckerberg: liberal, Pichai: liberal, Executive, Legislative and Judicial brances: liberal. Yes, there is an oligarchy of wealthy people in the US who want to keep their wealth and power at the expense of the people, even at the expense of democracy itself. They are called liberals.

Is this guy kidding or smoking bad dope!??
“with increasing right-wing control of the media, unlimited campaign contributions, and a conservative takeover of the judicial system”. WTF!
The msm is 90% Left Wing loonies who wouldn’t know Truth if it bit them in the soft tissue, the DemonRats lied and cheated their way to control of Congress, and Big Tech is clearly doing the Left’s bidding as the Censor Czars. These groups are the Neo-Nazis of the 21st Century. BTW. Vaguely heard of Herr Hartmann. He must have taken Joseph Goebbels place as Reich Minister of Propaganda for the Party.
This “author” apparently doesn’t read the latest news. Poorly written, poorly researched, and so biased as to be useless. He must have written this garbage for the Neophyte-Nazi wannabe.
