the Fighting Oligarchy Tour brought out thousands upon thousands of engaged people.
I don't want to watch it. I'm afraid one of the other words might be propaganda.

We---on the Left---have to remember that those---on the Right---are dumb as bricks.

(494 posts)I agree with Psaki... I have been saying for months to please look up the words you are using.. Bernie is using the word 'Oligarchy' because it's easy to recognize and he doesn't have to waste time educating those who don't have an expanded vocabulary.. But Oligarchy means "rule by the few".. And that may be true, in a broad brush stroke kind of way.. I personally think a better term would be 'Plutocracy'.. But it's not as well known of a word.. And Plutocracy means - 'rule by the rich'.. So I agree, somewhat, that maybe we should use words that better describe what we are talking about.. Instead of words that are easy to use and recognize, but really don't define the issue of 'rule by the rich'..
