Has America become an oligarchy?

let me change Steve's quote a bit:
"'Society' has no rights. 'The Majority' has no rights. 'The Minority' has no rights. 'Humans' have no rights. No group has rights. Only money has rights."

I remember clearly the first chapter in my Chinese political science text book:

Capitalist society is built on oppression. It can either be people in the country who are oppressed (traditional capitalism), people overseas who are oppressed (outsourcing), or simple a nation and its riches are pillaged and raped (imperialism and colonialism)


Frankly, in my opinion, communism is the same thing, just that they spew propaganda at you insisting that "the oppressors are no more!"

I have an online buddy, from Albania. He is a supporter of capitalism and class division. This is what he tells me:
"Under communism, we were pretty much classless, in which we were all poor. With capitalism, at least I am rich, most others are still poor though."
