Fight Oligarchy
ByPublisher Description
“Oligarchy is a system in which a small number of extremely wealthy individuals control the economic, political, and media life of a nation. It is a system in which ordinary people have very little power to determine the future of their country. If you’re an American, it is the system in which you’re living. That must change. In the wealthiest nation on earth we must build a political movement that creates a government that represents all Americans, not just a handful of billionaires.”“Oligarchy is a system in which a small number of extremely wealthy individuals control the economic, political, and media life of a nation.

Senator Bernie Sanders breaks down the unprecedented crises we face today in Trump’s America, as Trump undermines democracy at every turn—and how we can effectively fight back.Senator Bernie Sanders breaks down the unprecedented crises we face today in Trump’s America, as Trump undermines democracy at every turn—and how we can effectively fight back.
From the moment that Sanders began his Fighting Oligarchy tour in the early days of the Trump administration, it was clear that his message resonated with Americans across the political spectrum. Record-breaking crowds numbering in the tens of thousands showed up across the country. Large numbers of Americans, in red states and blue states, were prepared to stand up and fight back. In this book, he shows how we can continue that fight.
In a series of short, pointed chapters, Sanders explains how the United States today is an oligarchic society in which a small handful of multibillionaires exercise enormous economic and political power. He describes what it means when the very rich get much richer, while the majority of Americans struggle to pay the rent and put food on the table. And he observes how a corrupt campaign finance system allows billionaires in both parties to increasingly control our political system.
Sanders also discusses how, under Trump, we are rapidly moving toward authoritarianism–with a president who is undermining our democracy as he attacks Congress, the courts, the media, and law firms and universities in search of more and more power for himself. With relentless optimism and focused energy, Sanders reminds readers that true power rests with the people—and he presents a path forward to a reinvigorated democracy.

“Great overview of oligarchical governance both nationally and globally. Been a Bernie supporter for years and I think because of that, I was hoping for a little more in depth analysis and detail, but that’s because I’ve been doing my own research in the DSA world for a bit now! I think this is a great introduction to what is possible and for those looking for ways to organize and help. Also Clairo and Maggie Rogers mention !!! lol. I think this was a great motivator and inspiration to keep on fighting and that we deserve to be a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
“At such a tumultuous time in our nations political history. I think this is a must read for all Americans. The book is based on factual evidence, not only our own country, but the world. I really enjoyed that the Senator was responsible for recording the audiobook. I couldn’t agree more with a message. Fight oligarchy!”
