I'm not sure one can use ancient Greece as an exampe of democracy not being tied to wealth.
Parenti's grasp of antiquity is atrocious, honestly.
Not to mention his modern genocide apologia.
he addresses that in the speech, actually. In many ways it was flawed; slavery, excluding women, etc. However in other ways it was superior as a substantive democracy
