No, we will never be an oligarchy. A plutocracy, yes, but I think money is the deciding factor here.

A Plutocracy is merely an Oligarchy by virtue of wealth. It’s not as if you or I could ever earn enough money legitimately to move up to the ruling class. That makes it functionality indistinguishable from an Oligarchy that is hand picked by arbitrary factors.
