And that's just not allowed in this country. Oh, sure, it's okay to speak about other countries in which things like social class or inherited wealth or institutions of socialization and policy planning networks affect who runs for and is more likely to win office, and what sorts of policies are consistently supported over time.But you cannot do that for this country, for then you are an extremist fringe lefty conspiracist paranoid.
