“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
― Anatole France

Mass media is already "gleefully turned against those who tell a truth that our oligarchs do not like." The wealthy are already in power, already abusing and exploiting us. Fighting back is not equivalent to that, it is the remedy. Don't fall for the right wing propaganda about his. They are playing people.

That argument has been used against every progressive movement throughout history. "If we free the slaves, they will make white people into slaves" is the classic example.

"Don't fight back against the bully, or he might bully you." Um, he is already bullying us.

Taking away the power of money over the media and the government will not harm the working class people, quite to the contrary.
