42. I think you're overgeneralizing
I understand the temptation to want to classify everybody but the poorest groups of society negatively, but the reality is much more complex than that. My point was that the whole idea of a monolithic oligarchy, at least in Venezuela (and many other South American nations) is now largely obsolete. It's more of a straw man, used to justify any and all anti-democratic moves taken by a government which is moving rapidly towards a Castro=like dictatorship of Venezuela.
