How does one become a Russian Oligarch? It seems there may be some vacancies, and it sounds like a better job than many I've done before.
repression, theft, murder and controlling the definition of freedom, justice, crime and economy.
Generally any oligarch enjoys great wealth proportionate to the suffering of a great many others and is not at all concerned for their welfare or the common good.
in a market democracy it is supposed that wealth creation is less directly proportionate to individual suffering and more directly linked to natural resource exploitation. The entire market benefits from wealth creation, at least until it runs out of natural resources to exploit.
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person.
