their theory, their ideology, is that money, capital, wealth can aggregate and organize any way its owners want and can buy anything its owners desire to extract profit/wealth from everyone else by any means conceivable, all to further the further concentration of capital/wealth/power in the hands of the few -- including the mass media for agitprop and mass indoctrination and the government for all it can do to further advantage their position and power -- that's freedom and liberty and the American way and all that's good and godly

but heaven forbid that everybody else, the vast majority of actual real live people, can organize and act together in any way to further their own and rather different/opposed interests -- that's communism/socialism/oppression/all that's evil and godless

Correct. They're Fascists who desire the creation of a Plutocratic state, where numerous fiefdoms can exist with names like Walmart, and Exxon-Mobile. The dictators of these fiefdoms will influence the government to create legislation that benefits only them, and the surfs of those fiefdoms will be the peasants who have no more personal wealth, and who are completely dependent on their lords to offer them employment at the lowest possible wages.

It's like a Monarchy with the only king being the almighty dollar.
