Democracy has always been coded language to describe an ethnic oligarchy. It is paired with descriptor words that imply varying degrees of civic interaction (direct, republic) and the need for these descriptors betrays the reality of the disguise. We are aware intellectually that influence between the rich and the poor is biased in one direction and from that we can deduce that any democracy is or will result in an oligarchy.
