Government is a family office.
A monarchy is a single family office.
A republic, an oligarchy, and an aristocracy are multi-family offices.
Essentially, these are corporations solely dedicated to the preservation, organization, and growth of that family or families wealth.
Republics always take on an oligarchical form. You could say they are synonymous.
The oligarchical aspect of the Republic be utilized to prevent mob rule. There is an interesting term "pneumocracy". There are those who suggested that pneumocracy was intended to be part of the Republican system. I beileve the notion of pneumocracy (spiritocracy) from Michael Williams' book (link below) is that the members of the society would all be led by the spirit of God for the society to work.Originally Posted by shikamaru

Is mob rule any worse than minority rule and its accoutrements i.e. indoctrination, oppression, and tyranny?
Could minority rule be equated with quiet warfare?

I suppose it depends on the nature of the minority. If the minority has the morals of feral beasts vs if they are benevolent shepherds and guardians over their brethren who are allowed to grow and expand as they gather wisdom and knowledge and without interference or oppression. Like with a hammer, depends on whose hand its in.
If the mob or the minority are as feral beasts, it seems you'd have a farm or a jungle rather than a government.
On that note, the record seems to show a tendency of influences conspiring to push America away from traditional morals toward a more base system--key activity perhaps revving up more significantly around the 1830s or 1840s. Could removal of gold/silver from circulation have been intended to be a way to depose (i.e. eliminate/cripple) lawful government? With funny money how could you have a de jure claim at law?

This all reminds me of Plato's discussions concerning the attributes of an ideal republic in his book, "Republic". It too was oligarchical in form.
Funny you mention money, government, and morals. In the book, "The Lost Science of Money", as the currency was debased so too did government, morals, and society debase in kind.
In the wilds A wolf pact is absent philosophy however the physiology is dominant regardless of fairness all are tolerable for physiological reasons.Is Plato,s dominance tolerable or can anybody leave the republic or the cave regardless of physiological fairness. Any flaw in the wild is corrected immediately only flaw with Man is exploitation whether gradual or immediate the balance waits on fairness.

Debt is also a form of subjugation and quiet (as well as subtle) warfare.
