Its far from feudalism.

Your social network and hustle still goes a very long way in our current system.

Under feudalism, there is no secret handshake, no friend of a friend, no "I know a guy who knows a guy", no I hustled harder, no Mitt Romney Mormon fraternity that can help you achieve the success possible under the current system.

Is there an oligarch class? Well yeah capitalism is going to produce big winners. Whether you create the oligarchs through crony capitalism, or through the merit system in Russia, an oligarchy is a reality in a free market.

What we need to do is preserve what's left of capitalism, and demand equal treatment both the plebs and the oligarchs. No bailouts for failed leverage buyouts by investment banks and VCs.

I don't get bailed out if I fail in my own estate and tank my mortgage because I made a mistake. Too big to fail? Ok, maybe 1 or 2 bailouts....hundreds of bailouts? Going back to 1990s? Gross. Makes me lose my appetite.

I'm no socialist. I'm just not blind deaf and dumb. Socialism is ok when its for the oligarchs, and plebs love pain and suffering so much they don't think they deserve equal treatment. That is just sick. Get that middle class man who's under water by 40k a fucking bailout right fucking now.
