    i don’t think either of the current parties can be trusted before you start trusting our nation again. we need systemic reform to set up durable safeguards against oligarchy.

      Oligarchy is hardly exclusive to the US or its political system. Its relatively global considering that the overall global economic system is basically an even more off-the-rails version of the way the US economy operates. The UN has little ability to regulate all that much, and without global intervention the 0.01% can afford to shop around to avoid taxation. Look at Monaco…

      Thats a pretty extreme prerequisite for the US to ever be trusted
