A perennial cause for revolution around the globe.

It’s a bit ironic. In an effort to horde wealth, the wealthy bring about their own ruin. Though I suppose if you die before the revolution that’s alright for you

Revolution has never changed this status quo. Just results in violence, then once the ship rights itself the social order is back to how it was with an oligarchical elite extracting value from labor. In fact I don't think there has ever been a single case of labor unshackling itself from the yoke of the oligarchy.

If there is a natural human condition, it must be this, just because of how sustained this pattern has been over the course of what tens of thousands of years to today, even in the face of modern technology and more universal awareness that this is how the world actually works.
