It's funny how opponents of Obama and the democratic party site Obama and the democrats as socialist and Nazis, implying that it is they and not them who are similar or more ideologically in line with the ideals of absolutism and dictator rule when it is in fact they who favor tyrants, dictatorships and absolute rule.Take for example the man behind the curtain Mr Keith Rupert Murdoch. The epitome of capitalistic dictatorship, The Supreme Media Oligarch, oops there's that term Mr Beck loves so much, except he doesn't really know what it means and to whom it applies. He wouldn't dare point out that by definition his boss Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Media Conglomerate News Corp (2nd only to Disney) is just that.
What most people don't understand is that absolute rule more applies to a capitalist society than a socialist one. The whole premise behind socialism is to create equal opportunities for the proletarian.. The Worker!
In capitalism, your labor is owned by the company that you work for. Yes your labor becomes a proprietary asset.. owned not by the person creating the labor (you) but the owner(s) of the corporation. This is not as bad as long as the person also has the right to start a company of his/her own and therefore own their labor and properties and/or reserve the right to sell their labors to whomever they want if at all. These 2 rules are really what keep capitalism from being modern slavery!
Another fault is that in a capitalistic society if little or no regulation is applied by a democratic government than monopolies will form and therefore destroying a true "Free Market" and enslaving the lower classes.
That is why it's extremely important to regulate the markets to not allow let's say one man to own and control media outlets that reach 40% of all American homes. Very scary stuff indeed. So if we're going to talk Oligarchs let's really talk Oligarchs.
