You've been living under oligarchy your entire life. You are NOT living under "oligarchy headed toward fascism" -- you're living in Corporatism headed toward Fascism. Oligarchy is a characteristic of MANY political-systems, such as Monarchism, Feudalism,, Capitalism, Republicanism, Corporatism, AND Fascism.
Furthermore, most, if not all, of recorded-history has taken place under oligarchic political-systems.
And if you must use the word oligarchy to satiate some unnecessary-desire, you would say you're living in a "Corporatist-oligarchy headed toward a Fascist-oligarchy."
But adding the word oligarchy to the actual name of the political-system is redundant, since both systems are oligarchic in nature.
It is just as maddening to watch the indecent working-class dupes in MAGA as it is to watch the decent working-class dupes who are NOT part of MAGA, as both the dupes & the non-dupes try to stumble through the defining characteristics of the socioeconomic & political hurdles (such as oligarchy) that have existed for millennia.
Like, put down the entertainment and pick up the education. Literally -- STOP with the entertainment -- you have decades upon centuries upon millennia of knowledge to catch up on, because your education has been stifled, and you have been stupefied, by oligarchs.
Your sentiments are in the right place, but your rhetoric is, just, not helpful or useful.
Oh, how I long for the days when ignorant people weren't so proud to prove it publicly in exchange for the dopamine-hits that come from getting "likes".
