Mookie - kind of makes sense, does it not?

A plutocracy is rule by the wealthy and powerful - in this case - big business.

Socialism is a lack of big business - where the State owns everything - and of course the "people" make up the State.

So yes - they are polar opposites as one is antithetical to the other.

Also, in case you didn't catch my earlier comment - I am in full agreement with the dissenters on Citizens United vs FEC. It was a horrible decision, and I don't mind calling out the "conservative" justices on it.
