History is written by the victors. Maybe it would say "lol head goes whump thwobble thwobble thwobble"
That's a true statement but it's also true that in the entirety of human history no society has managed to wrest power away from the rich for more than a few generations. They may lie dormant for a while but they always come back. Self destructive greed is in our nature.
