Look at the enclosure of the commons in the UK for a counterexample. A centuries-long tradition of common ownership of grazing land was overturned because seizing that land enriched already wealthy landowners (represented by the Conservative Party). In other words, the status quo went out the window when it conflicted with the interests of the elite.
The same could be said of changes to trade policy over the years, in both the UK and the US, where contradictory positions (protectionism for a while, then free trade) were adopted depending on which made a buck for the rich.
And don’t.be stupid and think the left doesn’t do the exact same thing about the upper class.
You don’t know anything about my intelligence, and you have no idea what “the left” means when you trot out that weak whatabout.
