Unfortunately, the Mexican Revolution, while it may have been by the
people, did not benefit all of the people.  It simply created a new
aristocracy, a new oligarchy to replace the old one.  As such, the wealth
of Mexico has not been spread through the people as it has in the U.S."

Shouldn't that be "oilgarchy"?
