The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote

No, they are not. A single donation from a billionaire would buy more press to get more voters from name recognition than a million working class supporters. And if the politician betrays his base, the most he can fear is losing reelection, and even this is not assured. If a politician goes against billionaires, he is going to be smeared, harassed and have his opposition funded. This ensures that the only politicians in any significant elections are already guaranteed to serve billionaires.

But in a democracy the voters choose what they want, whether you like their choice or not.

The problem is who controls the choices they get.

Thinking of politics in terms of good guys and bad guys is kindergarten-level.

Jewish Autonomous Oblast was created as a project of communist Zionists, who didn’t approve of resettlement to Palestine.

Instead let’s focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we’re still exploiting our poorest citizens.

This just incentivizes more exploitation of the Global South.
