Well the difference is between this and those is that the examples you gave out are ridiculous and really have no solid base. The US being an oligarchy is not that out of the question especially since it happened before about 100 years ago.

To say big companies rule the USA is pretty dumb. Sure, you have people like Bill Gates who is a big influence to the world but actually controlling the USA?

The problem with these articles are that people think the 1% are the biggest people who influence and control everything and not your average person. Who has a bigger impact on the company, the workers or the person owning it?  Business men in America are usually portrayed as the big evil men smoking cigars and oppressing the poor because all they care about is their own greed and money when in reality the people are the actually the ones doing the work. Without the workers = no company. The people run the economy and the world; not the rich 1%.

And the reason why people think there's only 2 political parties is because they're the more popular ones.
