That is true for some countries (russia and china come to mind) but has nothing to do with the left and everything to do with authoritaritan regimes. In the US you at least currently can directly use your money for politcal power, see elon musk.
That is where you are missing the point. Nothing last forever, authoritarian regimes can change. Democratic societies can also change.
Rome doesn't last forever, the British Empire didn't, The French didn't , the Greeks, The Han, Tang and the Mongol Yuan Dynasties, The Imperial Tsar and most recently the Communist and Marxist didn't etc etc
A miscalculation or misstep is all it takes.
As for your comments and your worldview, I am not trying to give you any advice, I mean who am I to do that.
But let's take one from Churchill.
The further you look back, the further you look forward.
