Plutocratianism

As Robert Wenzel explains, though the vastly rich and powerful Koch Brothers use libertarian rhetoric, and even sometimes advocate good policies, it is all about greater power and riches for their family, and not about freedom. That is why almost none of the many Koch-controlled non-profits, media figures, and academics is for freedom, as versus freedom talk, and why the whole apparat can so easily ally itself with the neocons. It’s also why they’re so hostile to Ron Paul and his movement. But then, the Kochs have long wanted to be the new Rockefellers.
