This comment doesn't say anything at all, really. You just state a bunch of vague things and don't connect any of them, you just say everything ends in Oligarchy and don't walk them logically to your conclusion.
Then you just describe a system of "moderation," as though being in the "middle" of things makes it more correct. That would be like saying the sky must be purple if someone says it's blue and the other says its red, there's nothing about being in the middle that makes a position inherently correct.
The world's "successful" Social Democracies, ie the Nordic Countries, are seeing sliding worker protections, and depend on Imperialism to fund their safety nets. They are essentially landlords in country form.
You'd do well to actually engage with Leftists to see what we think and why, rather than reducing everything to some holy reverence for "moderation."

As we all know this approach is infallible as the capitalists will simply give up on changing laws if we just tax them.
Every system is going to end in oligarchy except for the one that directly gives people the power and material incentives to create an oligarchy.
I am a very smart Social Democrat.
Embrace nihilism and become the real change in the world? Inspiring!
