The #US is an #Oligarchy, a state owned entirely by its ultra-rich.

It slowly ceased to be a #Democracy, whilst retaining the outer appearance of a democracy.

Nobody noticed.

It didn't need to transform.

Only white landowning males could vote, from the start. Oligarchy is baked in.

@violetmadder @photoncollector @rjmccall

The problem has been baked in since post WW2 Bretton Woods. Arguably since start of C20th.
●USA lending $$ to order countries and locking them into unrepayable debt.
●USA taking mineral/ agricultural resources etc in return for supposed "benefits" of alliance and protection, then selling them back for profit.
●USA locking the world into US$ as baseline global currency so we are all beholden to US markets.

Check out "The Racket" by Matt Kennard. It's all there.

As countries collapse, inflation rises, governments fall, ppl move for a chance elsewhere.
USA never loses. It takes in the profits of other nations misery.
Globally we all need to unhook from USA trade and finance in whatever way we can.

Here in Australia we are told we have to jettison cheap drugs on our PBS bc America is telling us we have to charge ridiculous prices for any drugs coming from America. To boost USPharmas profits of course.
And if we don't? More tariffs, of course.

Exactly.
It's a horrible way to manipulate other nations.
Theres nothing kind or benevolent or mature about that kind of behaviour to other nations.
It's mean and exploitative - is that the true side of America ???

It's an economic prison.
