Respectful Greetings! To: DW News. Question: What is an oligarchy? In short, an oligarchy is an elite few who control the government’s actions. An oligarchy is a form of governance where power is held by a small group of people. These individuals often come from elite segments of society, such as wealthy families, military leaders, or political figures, and they control the government and decision-making processes. The term comes from the Greek words "oligos," meaning few, and "arkhein," meaning to rule. Oligarchies can be seen in various forms throughout history and in contemporary societies. The main characteristic of an oligarchy is that political power is concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people, rather than being distributed more widely among the population. Question: What are the term’s origins? Like many words in politics, oligarchy originates from Ancient Greek and quite literally means that few command. But unlike an aristocracy, an oligarchy is more closely tied to wealth than nobility and family lineage. The philosopher Aristotle wrote in his book “Politics” that “democracy is safer and more free from civil strife than oligarchy; for in oligarchies two kinds of strife spring up, faction between different members of the oligarchy and also faction between the oligarchs and the people.” Courteously! Luis Van-Dunem
I think what makes someone an oligarch is having tremendous wealth, power, and/or status and knowingly using it to influence politics whether for "better" or worse. Or personal gain
The people of USA voted in Trump and oligarchy. They do not take this serious. This is not our concerns. We should be more worried about of trades and alliance with USA.
Math doesnt lie. Take 1B and place it in any payroll and dedicate 1M per month, it woud take six years to deplete, and give 2000 employees a 500 dollar increase each month. Profits are going to the wrong people.
PACS have been representing special interests including oligarchs in shaping policies. What is the difference now? America has lost democracy for decades
😂 wut? This about corruption. Facebook and old twitter were not buying our politicians, not encouraging hate speech like Elon’s X, and not being deranged lunatics.
9 years ago, the internet landscape was markedly different. Platforms like TikTok, which launched in 2016, didn't really exist, and artificial intelligence hadn't reached its current level of sophistication. At that time, ML was in use, but LLMs weren't a thing. Thus, there was less awareness of the potential risks associated with these things, and significant political events involving digital interference had yet to occur. As a result, many of the regulations in place across the globe, to protect actual freedoms were not in place. While it's true that Mr. Joe's actions may not have met everyone's expectations, we're operating in a vastly different environment than we were nine years ago. Therefore, our responses and strategies should reflect the current context... Not 9 years' ago. Let's talk differently.
MIC is shadier coz the public has no say in the conflicts that the MIC orchestrate and how the public money is spent. Tech industrial complex is inherently different as people have a voice in the form of not signing up or leaving any of these technolical services.
Didn’t know you and some of your friends were so eager to be ripped off by billionaires. Unless you are one yourself. When Biden took over, the economy under Trump had started to tank, a few months before Covid. Too fragile and too inconsistent to sustain Covid. But Biden worked his butt off to put it back on rails. As usual, people want things to change in a snap of fingers, and you were unhappy because of the worldwide inflation. Fast forward, economy has recovered, measures have been put in place, and now Trump and his billionaire friends are going to take everything down. Let’s talk about this in 2 years
@@blackout07blue when doge is running. Elon says he can probably cut 2 trilion. We need it the debt is getting insane. Trump will handle bringing down prices. It's going to be difficult but he will try. Ur woke left brain stop working or something
Seriously? After 40+ years of cutting the institutions we gave ourselves as a society for better social stability into smithereens? "I didn't know the leopards would eat MY face, too!" comes to mind, 🤡
Anyone who has researched the truth rather than listen to M|SM has known that for years. The Trilateral Commission published "The Crisis of Democracy" in 1975 ffs
DW. Are you saying we should all strive for average? Like equity for everyone? You’ve missed the whole idea of the American experiment. These successes all spill over into more success for the many.
The American dream is an illusion for the majority and a nightmare for a large minority. Just like the lottery, it's intended to keep the vain hope of a better life alive for the majority, and to protect the wealth of the super rich. The masses won't complain about the income of the wealthy while there is a faint hope of joining their number. It's almost feudal in nature. The rich man in his place, the poor man in his hovel, each knowing their place.
You mean for the very few? But otherwise I agree. Large part of the Americans are much more pro-rich than Europeans, even if they are far away from ever getting there.
@@Timo-qb1gf... and even further from being ABLE to, due to the inherent & systemic lack of equal opportunity. There's logic to why the neoliberal scam came from Russia and the USA, and not from France.
Not nearly as much as the Russian type of oligarchy: kleptocracy. That's when the most rich and influential, together with the "political" "leadership" teamwork in siphoning up resources from the country and people via the state. Among us plebeians/plebs... not many appreciate being robbed on a daily basis by the feudal kings. Will You, or are You a billionaire?
You'll regret that comment already within a couple of years. Why are You defending the ACTUAL crooks? They won't do You any favors. Actually... You'll have to work harder just to get by (FORGET getting richer). 🤦♀️
What kind of questions is that, about oligarchs being all, all bad? The problem is not whether they are good or bad, it is the concentration of power. You can compare them with autocrats, or even the old monarchies, if the dictator is a nice guy you’ll have a good government, often even better than a democrat one, basically because the dictator doesn’t have boundaries, or to go through all the “dance is democracy “ to convince the opposition and so on, but regardless the occasional good, unchecked power is always bad.
We’re already run by an oligarchy 😆
"Oligarchy taking shape" is a bit behind the learning curve, given that this oligarchy is gearing up to go full plutocracy right now...
Yes, he is correct.
yes. feudalism vs democracy simple.
Yes like Google and Meta.
Yes Joe, but you didnt do anything to stop Oligarchy in your years as politician, you actually advanced their power and fought against true Progressives like Bernie
Trump didn't either and he's furthering their agenda greatly

The voters choose Biden over Bernie. Biden was by far better than any Republican. Republicans are the absolute worst.

Well he paid people to get Trump elected, so why not?

"i think" you are on the internet. Pretty easy to figure out what it means. Also i don't think anyone asked what an oligarch is.
How is that even a question on the title...

That's a bit rich, isn't it?

Tech industrial complex - a term that means nothing. Tech is all technology, not just computer chips….its Refrigerators, cars and toasters too.
Nobody cares about the definitions
Mark, Elon, Jeff. He knows why.
Tech Monopoly will end. Olygarchy will end. If they don't value their women they can't see this. The important thing is for humanity to continue.
Oh gawd leave already
Elon might have Downs. lol
Nah.
why is it a leaving president suddenly grows a conscience? I guess he's talking about the WEF.

You do not know what "state owned" means.

Could you please describe what you mean by that? Does public media somehow contribute to your understanding of oligarchy?
Do you know how Indian media do their reporting? And how corrupt Modi, the Indian police and military, and the oligarchs?
