View submission: Are there examples of oligarchic governments being removed peacefully?
Honestly, it depends once again on your personal belief of wealth. Did the Soviet oligarchs which grew to positions of power during the Stalin regime onwards have access to vast material wealth, private properties, and political power? Yes.
Did they have large amounts of physical currency? No, but not only was the USSR economy largely focused on being self-sufficient above everything else, and had little motivation to export goods for most of it's existence, but you can also make the assumption that there is a very clear path between the Soviet authoritarian regime and the Perestroika businessmen that later became the oligarchs in Russia.
It's a tricky subject for sure.
There's nothing here!
