I'm thinking oligarchy can only be prevented by voter rights and election reform (HR1 S1 and I would go further to say elections are completely state sponsored, no private money) and by everyone exercising those rights. After that. its the majority. Curious to know what your alternative would be?

Even in that fantasy world, the majority could become a mob inthralled by an oligarch. Let's pretend there is no racism and everyone had sufficient access to food, shelter, clean water, and safety from domestic violence. Then the majority would be free enough to think for themselves and make decisions that would use natural resources wisely.
