Jimmy Carter: U.S. Has Become An Oligarchy

[allodial]

The US has always been an oligarchy since its inception:

Book: Elites in American History, The Federalist Years to the Civil War by Philip H. Birch

The aforementioned book is 1 of a 3 book set.

Let us also not forget the iron law of oligarchy.

Any corporate structure; whether public or private; whether monarchical, republic, aristocracy, democracy, etc.; will fundamentally be an oligarchy.

The fundamental property of a pyramid structure is to concentrate power at the top.

Which goes back to the idea, that it isn't so much the form of government as it is the kind of people which make up that government--what is in their hearts and what is their purpose. It might be worth considering the possibility of a popcorn trail leading from Aristotle back to ancient Egyptian mystery schools. It is said that the Grand Orient internal government is in the form of an oligarchy. IMHO, Oligarchy isn't necessarily a terrible form of government (unless of course the oligarchs themselves might be base, low or terrible themselves). Perhaps consider the Morlocks in the H.G. Wells movie Time Machine.

Today there might exist some who while favoring oligarchy hate the idea of Jesus Christ or the Bible or moral laws because maybe the Bible's message might be that: you cannot for long rule while living with the mindset of a beast. Aristotle, it is worth noting, had an idea of the soulless man or woman. Esau/Edom typified placing the physical and worldly pleasures above all else while still wanting to hold a position of authority over others. It is said that the "Spirit of Edom" or Edom spiritually typifies or relates to those who place physical pleasures and the worldly over all else (possibly also while aiming to enjoy that which such a mindset forecloses him or her out of). Reminds me of modern Pop Culture, feminism and the "Gay Agenda"--those who want to enjoy the fruits of a lawful society but without having to contribute, to obey any laws or to restrain themselves (i.e. threatening and assaulting others who don't agree with them but without having to answer for it).

What can we say about the character of Esau? Well this much we know. He scorns his spiritual inheritance as he scorned his birthright in times past. A profane man, he lives by the sword or by force of arms. Does he put his trust in guns and military armaments first and foremost? Esau was always inclined to be violent and wrathful. He has little patience for those whose proclivities tend toward nurturing and cultivating (as of the flocks). He scorns nurturing considering it evidence of weakness. He is not inclined towards cultivating crops or shepherding as his brother Jacob is. He prefers to hunt and to get his food by taking it down as hunters do. (Source)

The character and nature of the oligarchs, like the character or nature of who is wielding a gun or a hammer probably is more significant than the type of government itself (i.e. who is "behind the wheel" probably makes a big difference rather than the type of automobile).
