I don't for a second believe we are a democracy, or even a capitalist state.
Wiki has a rather incomplete list of the types of government. They don't mention
republic in that list or
fascism for that matter. Originally the USA was supposed to be a Republic. It even says it in our
Pledge of Allegiance.
Anyway I was wondering what everyone(including people outside of the USA) thought our current form of goverment would be categorized as? Personally I would call it pretty close to an
Oligarchy Or maybe a
Plutocracy. What do you think?
