The oligarchy exists, world wide within every
country, excepting for socialist nations such as Cuba
or China, where a primary goal is to get rid of the
oligarchies. However it seems to be the case, that new
oligarchies come into being within the state
government apparatus. This is natural to government
policy that is stated as materialist. The oligarchies of
various countries often contend with one another as
imperialist ambitions.
Sometimes these incursions lead to war. Because
oligarchy exerts influence either as passive or overt
over the mass media, the popular conception of
oligarchies are always as machinations of past
history. The oligarchy is a completely separate
culture within a given society, with its own schools,
churches, clubs, associations, social societies,
merchants and wherein the justice system is usually
skewed so as exempt or coddle them, from the
penalties that apply to everyone else.
The operation of democracy, is the election of
representatives, that are voted upon in succeeding
elections, and whose members come and go. The
elected officials will attempt to conform policy of the
various government agencies, to the politician?s
philosophy as presented to the electorate, and will
appoint functionaries to carry out that agenda. The
oligarchy holds control over those government
agencies, that can help them the most to further their
accumulative advantage, or to protect what they
already have.
