    I wouldn’t necessarily position them as capitalist. They are capitalists of course, but the term oligarch seems more appropriate, at least from a non-US perspective.

      Nvidia is not oligarchs…

      Labeling them as such makes it seem like this is only an issue at the very top, but it’s rampant.

        Curious why you think Nvidia’s leader, Jensen Huang, would not be considered an oligarch?

        He clearly wants to leverage corruption to promote self-enrichment. It’s framed in different terms and I recognize many in the US would disagree, but that’s why I got out of his statements.

          Curious, why you think Nvidia’s leader, Jensen Huang, would not be considered an oligarch?

          Why do you think any high level executive for a publicly traded company wouldnt side with a fascist for profits when they are obligated to the board to maximize profits over everything else?

          My issue is the word oligarchs conjures the image of a tiny pet cent of people secluded from society. It’s them. And millions of others.

            I see. I would also label such high level executives oligarchs. I guess it’s a matter interpretation of the term.
