This will spark valid discussion and not invoke weird tribalism that ignores the fact that we're all ruled by the rich under all of those systems. No siree. Just valid, non-divisive, discussions happening for this one.

"We're ruled by the rich in all of these systems!" when the issue being talked about is some basic level of democracy is missing the point entirely, jfc.

Name one.

I could name three, but I think you can too.

So go ahead and name one.
