Ebben az egyben igazad van. Annyit tennék még hozzá, hogy ez kísértetiesen hasonlít arra a rendszerre ami az USA-ban létrejött annak megalakulása környékén: Fathers of a Different Kind of Empire (elnézést, ez angol nyelvű anyag)
Washington was the first in a long line of American empire builders who made the United States into the global empire it is today. John Jay summed up the attitude of the Founding Fathers when he said that those who owned the country should run it. The hallowed Constitution made it clear just who were true citizens and who were not. Full-fledged citizens were white, land-owning men. Women, slaves, natives and white men who did not “own” stolen native land were specifically excluded. In Virginia, in those early days of the republic, about 1% of the population could vote; a proportion that approximates the Communist Party in China today. (...) The United States has been a plutocracy from its earliest days, and having its richest citizen as its first president was no coincidence.
