I would like to hear your analysis about US, present and future.
A plutocracy dominated by a small group of ultra-rich dynasties and economy. I'm one step ahead of Hilary accusing Bush to have established an oligarchy, ätschi-bätschi! I would even argue that even the european states are not truly democratic anymore. That impression is intentional mimicry only. for me they are aristocratic structures in which the former institution of monarchs and feudal sub-rulers have been replaced with political parties and economical lobbies. You can vote what you want, but the basic system and the deeper interests remain unaffected from that, hiding behing more and more complex administrative and bureaucratic structures and globalized economy accumulations.
