It seems debatable whether voting has ever actually truly given “The People” control. Or just the illusion of control.
It seems we’ve always been pulled between monied interests. With the only real changes historically being the intentions and faces behind those interests.
The Nobility, Clergy, and Aristocracy of the past giving way to the Planters, Merchants, and Bankers of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Who in turn were replaced by the Business Moguls, Modern Bankers, and their associated conglomerates of the 20th, and 21st centuries.
