  1. Professor Wolff is correct; the oligarchs have been very successful at demonizing the government in the minds of the rubes. And while they have been demonizing the government, they have been slowly annexing and subsuming that same government until one could only conclude the government of (by, and for) the people is now private. That's right; the government is now private; a joint-venture between multiple private interests (usually financial, energy, military, and medical); and democracy is nothing more than an illusion to keep the rubes quiescent! Forget about Trump and Russiagate; they were just distractions to manipulate the rubes while the Democratic Establishment intentionally inflicted them with fear paralyzing "Trump Derangement Syndrome". As Buffet said, “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” The oligarchs no longer have any restriction to their power. It's now over; the "left" has been shown to be totally impotent, and the oligarchs have clearly shown that in a corrupt population where the rubes blindly trust the traitor class (e.g. Media, Hollywood, and Politicians), money dominates principles. By now you must realize; those who ranted against the government (e.g. Reagan- "The government is the problem") in the early years were the ones actually working for those same oligarchs who eventually subsumed the government and have taken control. You have to admire the effectiveness of their tactics (e.g. Citizens United) and the audacity of the execution (e.g. Koch & the Clinton-Gore "Third Way" Democrats). Imagine how naïve the “left” must have been to blindly accept the promise of Clinton on NAFTA, “I believe that NAFTA will create a million jobs in the first five years of its impact.” While the Progressives slept, the Oligarchs covertly took over; just like in "Invasion of the Body-snatchers". And Professor Wolff is correct - the real problems have only just started. Welcome to serfdom folks!
