"Officially, our form of government in the U.S. is a representative democracy. This means citizens vote for their government officials. But Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is of a different opinion.
“ 'Of course the oligarchs run Russia. But guess what? Oligarchs run the United States as well,” the Democratic Senator said last year. “And it’s not just the United States, it’s not just Russia; Europe, the UK, all over the world, we’re seeing a small number of incredibly wealthy people running things in their favor.”
"Wondering what this means in the context of global governments? Here’s everything you need to know about oligarchies, including examples.
"The general definition of an oligarchy is a form of government involving the rule of a few persons or families. According to National Geographic, Greek philosopher Aristotle used the term in contrast to aristocracy (the elite upper class) to describe the rule of a few for “corrupt and unjust purposes.”
"One of the more modern uses is the phrase “iron law of oligarchy,” a concept by German sociologist Robert Michels that says democracy is an oxymoron – that it will ultimately fall to the hands of an elite few." . . .
Democrats would have us believe Elon Musk was a ruler oligarch, but to be feared most I feel are the Soros family.
Why does Tim Walz’s billionaire buddy Alex Soros love Albania’s narco-state? - Washington Examiner September 26, 2024 "Tuesday’s highly publicized meeting between Alex Soros and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) merits attention. The 38-year-old left-wing philanthropist is one of the most important players in American politics and beyond. That’s thanks to his $25 billion fortune, which his famous father, George Soros, handed over to him to manage in the furtherance of the family’s left-wing global crusade. Calling Alex Soros the dark lord of left-wing dark money is no exaggeration. He is enmeshed in the Democratic elite, given his more than two dozen visits to the Biden White House, plus his recent engagement to Huma Abedin, who was Hillary Clinton’s longtime factotum.
"Alex Soros was among the first big names to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris when President Joe Biden’s campaign imploded, and he did a photo op with Walz at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month, where the left-wing oligarch proclaimed himself to be “Walzpilled!” Nevertheless, Tuesday’s rendezvous at the investor’s palatial New York City residence, when Walz appeared submissive toward his benefactor, got attention.
"Republican pundits were quick to heap scorn on how Walz, the touted salt-of-the-earth “man of the people,” kowtowed to the scion of the Soros dynasty. Walz’s appearance with the ultimate radical nepo baby wasn’t exactly compatible with how “middle class” Harris and her running-mate portray themselves to voters. However, giving Alex Soros whatever he wants, in exchange for his cash and publicity, is exactly what voters should expect a Harris-Walz presidency to do if the pair take office on Jan. 20." . . .
