Know Thy Enemy: The Modern Oligarchical Democracy - Part II

Part I — The Oligarchic Paradigm

Part II — The Oligarchy’s Foot Soldiers

As of 2020, there were 1.8 million tax-exempt organizations in the United States, including almost 1 million public charities, more than 100,000 private foundations, and close to 400,000 other types of nonprofit organizations.  More people are currently employed in this sector than in either construction or agriculture, a clear marker of the collapse of productive economic activity in our nation.  Arguably, many of these organizations, perhaps a majority, are involved in legitimate activities of the type that come to mind when one thinks of the word “charity.”  Nevertheless, in recent decades, particularly since the 2010 Supreme Court ruling “Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,” the non-profit sector has become the prime vehicle for the creation of an “oligarchical party” aimed at transforming American society and subverting our elected government.
