John, thanks for writing this succinct essay on advancing an egalitarian revolution. If I understand your argument, you suggest the majority of people know in an inchoate way that the ruling class plutocracy is a fundamental problem on multiple fronts, whether it is solving ecological, economic, technological, or even social problems. People are silent on this, and don't develop their argument for an egalitarian society because they think they are alone and are therefore not confident about sticking their necks out and sounding like a revolutionary crackpot. So, we have to speak publicly and frequently, on the topic.
Your point is that it necessary that we in the egalitarian revolutionary movement speak frankly about the problem of plutocracy so we know we are not alone. But real democracy is not the end, or it can't be in my estimation. The purpose and reason for removing the rich from power , by achieving a real democracy, is to create a better society not operated according to a grow or die capitalist economic system that has led is to the brink of ecological ruin and the emergence of a techno-totalitarianism, according to dhughes.substack.
You are inviting people in the 'real left,' and I know, among people who call themselves the 'right,' but who would agree that a society dominated by an economic oligarchy is problematic to say the least. Your point is that activists need to lead with the call for egalitarianism, and then by the way, elevate their key, or pet issue; for me that means getting justice for state crimes against democracy, so we can have real and not fake democracy.
