Zucman puts it more emphatically. “I think democracy versus oligarchy is going to be the battle of the 21st century,” he says. “I don’t know how long it’s going to take for the Democratic Party to actually understand that.

What a terribly disappointing conclusion. The author is as naive as he's under the impression the Democratic party is. Those in control of the Democratic party are absolutely aware where their largest financial backing comes from.

They know it dipshit, it's why they submarined Bernie and refused to even mention mandamis name until he'd already won. It's why AOC was passed over for party leadership appointment roles in Congress. They don't want to win against oligarchy.
