(75,480 posts)SA is a class society and it has nothing to so with money. Sure the aristocrats have most of the money because they have all the advantages with the money purveyors that the peasants don't have like education, connections, and most importantly family name. Now there are poor aristocrats and rich campesinos but you pretty much stay in your class. It doesn't matter how many Rolex watches, Jags or other baubles you have. Without the right family name you are still shit.
I'm pretty sure that the high class are courting those boligarches as you call them. We call them nouveau riche. Behind their backs they are inciting disgust of them with the Chavistas. That's how they operate, Game of Thrones stuff. When there is a revolution, they take over. Oh, the boligarches are where they started and not part of the country club, not that they ever were.
If those students don't see that overthrowing the government will achieve that, they have lost. You can be sure the aristocrats have courted the military to back them once the Chavistas overthrow the government.
