I don't think that this is exclusive to our current system but rather that it's ubiquitous across every system that we've attempted that involved money. The burden of proof is now on you to show a system that successfully separates power and wealth.

I suppose that the real disagreement here might be that an ever-present opportunity for oppression isn't the same as oppression and I guess that comes down to opinion.

That's not how burden of proof works.. What claim did I make? I rejected a position and gave my reason for uncertainty. I also already conceded given a demonstration i'd happily switch sides.

Other than that I have no problems agreeing on the rest of your comment. I'm a little iffy on the ever-present vs oppression, but i'll take it.

In your rejection, you said that oppression isn't inherent to money due to the fact that it has to be paired with a system for its oppressive nature to manifest. I responded to this by saying that it doesn't make sense to separate money from its system due to the fact that money does not function without being accepted into a system to circulate within. If you agree with that as well as what I consider oppression, then in order to justify that wealth doesn't equal oppression you have to (should is the more appropriate word here I guess) show an example where a system that utilizes money doesn't also give the wealthy unfair influence on that system, because as of now I can't think of any governments or models that align with your assertion.
