    I’m not quite sure what it means for someone not to act as forced.

    I don’t understand what you mean by this.

    You seem to be negating the possibility of advancing beyond the status quo

    Some things can be advanced beyond the status quo, for example degrees of exploitation. Some things can’t be advance beyond the status quo, for example the existence of exploitation.

      You are expressing doomerism.

          Of course I disagree that deposing the oligarchs is impossible.

          At any rate, everything ends eventually.

            That’s not what I said.

              It’s how your original comment and the clarification both read for me. Advancing past the status quo of oligarchs exploiting workers is what you have seemed to me as rejecting as impossible.

                I didn’t mention oligarchs. This is what I said:

                “Some things can’t be advance beyond the status quo, for example the existence of exploitation.”

                It may be possible to advance past oligarchs but it is not possible to advance past exploitation.

                    Oligarchs are the exploiters.

                    Oligarchs are not the only exploiters.

                    Exploitation is the theft by oligarchs.

                    Exploitation isn’t limited to oligarchs.

                    It seems like you’re trying to redefine the term “exploitation”.
