Historical Context

Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's rally in Denver echoes historical movements against oligarchy, such as the Athenian coup of 411 BC, when elite factions sought to replace democracy with oligarchy during economic turmoil. This reflects ongoing concerns about the influence of wealthy elites in politics, highlighted by recent critiques of American democracy's drift towards oligarchy, particularly after the 2008 financial crisis.
