Oligarchs conduct class war by seeding division within the working class. The working class fighting amongst themselves isn't class war, and is just self inflicted pain to distract from the oligarchs. This is the message of the comic.

Focusing on those entities that have excessive wealth and actively spend it to lobby against our interests while paying only for a fraction what we pay for our share can be handled through laws and legislation, no class warfare needed.

In theory, but the whole legal system is so weighted towards people with money it's not even funny. So grass routes mobilisation/organisation seems required at this point, otherwise, the status quo continues on.

Especially in countries that have terribly voting systems (the US), but also in those where the voting systems are decent.
