An excerpt from the article

This continuing reality is a definition of justice that is crafted by rulers, enacted and enforced by rulers, and naturally favors rulers. It is no surprise, then, that corruption thrives, as corruption is the immoral use of power for personal gain, and can be committed only by rulers. Until wisdom overtakes those who rule, the rich and powerful in our society, there can be no standard of justice beyond the advantage of the stronger. Unless the weaker find strength in their numbers, find both the courage and the humility to form a unity, and gain a strategic bargaining asset. It is never easy to move against the established rulers, and revolutions have always been the forced option adopted by the disadvantaged. Reality and history will point out, however, the scarcity of success – and the bloody price paid to attain it even unsuccessfully. The rarer success is the strength from unity in numbers, but may be the best option for peaceful and sustainable progress.

I looked for a video on Oligarchs (a.k.a., rapacious, greedy billionaires who want systems to regulate the tiniest minutiae of every life on planet earth, for their convenience and to satisfy their arrogance), this speaker actually DEFENDS oligarchy, as have most intellectuals and academics throughout history. Watchdogs of the People? The Demagogues of Ancient Greece.
