    The US is just an oligarchy. Most political scientists agree these days.

    It might not be Russia-levels of oligarchy, but it’s trending that way.

      What you call “oligarchy” is just the natural consequence of Capitalism’s centralizing forces.

          I do think calling Capitalism’s end stage as “oligarchy” gets in the way of depicting the very real tie to its eventual collapse that comes from this centralization, though.
