This would be true if lockdowns didn't happen. As it is most of the wealth-owning class was told to shut themselves inside, isolate, then we got the vaccine and they manage to live on and keep their wealth. So not even plagues can save us anymore.

Plagues don't change society by killing the rich and powerful, similar to how war doesn't upend society by killing those people.
