You should wiki read 'the iron law of Oligarchy'

 I think you mentioned this before.
 

The greatest political power we still have is defined by how we use our credit cards. Cf Elon Musk or Bill Gates

 There is an overlap between financial power and political power, but they are
not the same.
 

Ultimately they are interchangeable. The man with deep pockets buys the politicians.

Sometimes, sometimes not. Lenin did not have deep pockets, yet did alright in terms of power.
Sometimes the currency is not currency, but AK47:s. If you are a billionaire with a conscience, your billions won't help you against a politician without a conscience.
