Wealth and political power have been concentrated over the past 50 years in fewer people, who reduce the ability of the lower classes to organize and increase the power of corporations to the point where some are close to being monopolies.

"I believe that Republicans are effectively bringing us down the road to Communism and a totalitarian state"

All Trump haters believe that. It's ridiculous.


"where the means of production and politics are controlled by the oligarchy"

I believe both sides have leaders who are interested in consolidating disproportionate power and wealth in the hands of a few. I can't imagine any logic that would make anyone think that's a uniquely Republican problem. Liberals want to be in charge of distributing wealth, energy consumption, healthcare, that's not totalitarian?...Long past time to drain the swamp, limit the power of special interests, and institute term limits. Short term limits.

"increase the power of corporations to the point where some are close to being monopolies"

We disagree on many things, but this is exactly correct. Spot on. Neither party has much interest in addressing this.
