In the US, in a reversal of the Christian
teachings (the most common religion here)
wealth decides aristocracy.
But billionaires who invest in cattle or sheep ranches,
animal or fish agriculture, arms sales,
timber, fossil fuels, labor abuse, privatization of
public businesses, monopolies or pricegouging
are a kakistocracy.
Billionaires in the US can legally buy elections,
since the plutocratic Supreme Court ruled
that money is speech. That is also
kakistocratic and antidemocratic.
