There’s a simple truth that more people need to hear.
With a few exceptions, police and the military do not serve billionaires, they serve the State.
The billionaires know this, which is why they work so hard to control or dismantle the State. But they are all cowards and use proxies that can be replaced.
If the people manage to overcome the active resistance to take control of the state, there’s very little the billionaires can do when the federal marshalls show up at their door.

See, the problem with the argument presented there, is that it completely ignores a bunch of what actually happened during that times frame.
The American Revolution was a complex time filled with compromise between those who actually believed in democracy, and those who were horrified by it.
And then the French Revolution happened, and the rich jackasses got scared. Well, the smart ones were scared.
Which is all meaningless because there have been 27 amendments since then, and those change the rules, letting more people have more of a voice.
Basically, the summation of the argument is thus, if voting didn’t matter, then the rich assholes wouldn’t be working so hard to keep you from doing it.

Then why aren’t federal Marshall’s showing at the door of every person in the Epstein files?
Then what is the distinction you are trying to draw between oligarchs and “the State”?
The modern state was created to serve the elites
