OLIGARCHS ALSO HAVE THE RIGHT TO GOVERN

       The stigma against the so-called oligarchs (those with high purchasing power) who have led and governed nations for centuries, and still continue to do so, has at times generated a collective mistrust that has been used by populists and demagogues in order to create a negative imaginary against these people.

       While it is true that the oligarchs have failed in many of their economic policies, it has not meant a destruction of society, but rather, in the name of the economy and the very abused term of progress, they have been able to carry out political projects concerning improve trade relations (for their own interests of course) and maintain, to some extent, social stability.

       The opposite has happened to the populist and demagogic leaders who have portrayed themselves as revolutionaries, disguised as the much abused term of socialism, or any other name of an alleged social ideology. These political leaders have led to disaster, in most cases, entire nations, resulting in hunger and humiliation.

       Perhaps because of lack of experience, education, or whatever bankruptcy they have, a poor person, without proper political orientation (ideological if you will), cannot but concentrate social hatred and seize the opportune moment to seize the power and to begin with the revenge, to say of the sociologists, adding to the terrible persecutions and bad propaganda of irrational hatred against the poor oligarchs, the slavery, that generally assume of different forms, and oppression towards the most vulnerable population, the humble, the working people, and the population in general.

       Result? Once the demagogues assume power, they show an almost innate ability not to govern, but to destroy social establishment and democratic institutions in order to maintain the status quo they never had in their lives, too late for the population who see an act of betrayal of those whom they saw as a kind of saviors, we do not know what.

       Then, the manifestations arrive, the deaths also, to ask for a change, hoping to restore that order that made him hate, but that is necessary. Like the monarchs in the middle ages, when they dared to expel certain social sectors, such as bankers and merchants and then call them again, because they realized the need for them, simply so that social groups, around the economy , could work.

       The oligarchs also have rights, as any have, and one of them is the right to govern without being stigmatized by the purchasing power they have. The natural tendency to invent an enemy to attribute the evils of a nation should be to blame the population for raising resentful leaders to power. The reflection then, is to claim the oligarchs as one more among the others.
