Well, OK. It might be personal, but it is the deploying of it in politics. So let me give you an example. There might be an oligarch who feels very strongly about abortion policy, but they're using that money power in the political system to sway the political outcome. That's one, but overwhelmingly, what you refer to is correct, which is - the No. 1 political objective of oligarchs throughout history has been wealth defense, defending their fortunes from redistribution.
