    The 1% exist in every form of government, my friend. Billionaire capitalists == Russian Oligarchs. The name changes based on the audience, but the idea is money influences politics. The folk with the most money to do so are the 1% who actually rule, not the interchangeable talking heads who take their money to live a comfortable life acting as the mouthpiece (or scapegoat) for that group.

      …do you think Russia is still Socialist? The Russian oligarchs are Billionaire Capitalists.

      The USSR collapsed in the 90s, buddy.
